Now that's service

My friendly neighborhood mailman stopped by the house this afternoon and handed me a key for my new mailbox along with a notice for jury duty (for the lad). “And here’s your first piece of mail,” he said with a twinkle in his eye. He laughed and joked a bit and it was quite pleasant. I do believe this is going to be a normal home mail delivery experience, which, for me, will be spectacularly improved and delightful. I really like my new mailman.

Re the jury duty notice...it can be postponed until the lad is home for vacation sometime in the next year. I think he’ll enjoy it if he’s chosen. It’s only one day jury duty.

Heh.  My mailman was just pulling away from my mailbox when I shouted out the door “Hold it!” He stopped, got out of his truck, pulled the incoming mail out of the box and waited for me to hand him the outgoing mail I’d yelled about.  He’s a good guy.

Yep, he sounds like a keeper. It’s mail carriers like that who make our lives a little bit easier, less complicated. Once upon a time, I took them for granted. Not anymore. A good mail carrier is worth his/her weight in gold.

It does help that the distance from the door to the mailbox is about 25 feet; if it were half-a-mile, all bets would be off. wink
