⚡ On This Day in History ⚡
In 1752, Benjamin Franklin famously proved that lightning is a form of electricity with his daring kite experiment.
While we’ve come a long way since Franklin’s experiment, one thing hasn’t changed: lightning is still powerful—and potentially dangerous. 🌩️
Today, lightning strikes can cause serious damage to homes, including fires, electrical surges, and costly repairs. That’s why having the right homeowners insurance coverage is so important.

That thinking is exactly why small businesses are now the number one target for cybercriminals.

That gap is exactly what a cyber liability policy is designed to fill.

Did you know the postmark on your mail might not match the day you actually mailed it anymore?
USPS quietly changed how postmarks work back in December 2025. They consolidated local processing into big regional centers. So when you drop something in a blue box, it might not get postmarked for a day or two — however long it takes to reach the sorting facility.
This matters for tax returns, insurance filings, legal documents, charitable donations, even mail-in ballots. If the postmark is late, you’re late — even if you mailed it on time.
Here’s the fix: take it to the post office counter and ask for a hand-stamped postmark (it’s free), get a Certificate of Mailing, or use Certified Mail. Better yet, go electronic when you can.
The old “drop it in the box on the last day” move? That’s a gamble now.
Share this with anyone who mails important documents. Most people have no idea this changed.

As of December 24, 2025, the USPS changed how postmarks are applied to your mail. Under their Delivering for America plan, nearly 200 local processing facili...
