My son and DIL use forever stamps and had no idea what the cost was.

I should have tried using [google.us](http://google.us) instead of google.ca. But I have forgotten what magin incantation is needed to get that. If I put [google.us](http://google.us) in the address bar it switches it to google.ca.
