Mail

Hello, Our snail mail has come some days and not others. Apparently a number of the postal workers are out sick. One night our mail came at 9:00 pm. It has come on some Sundays and holidays. I am concerned about the carriers who are well and working such odd hours. I wonder how long they can keep up this pace. Those that come to our house do a lot of walking on snow and ice as well as in darkness. Leroy and I walked to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. I noticed that a few more people usual wore masks. I am grateful for this close source to get prescriptions filled, so we can walk if we have the time. Leroy suggested that we take a longer walk and I am glad that we did. It is much nicer out now. Not much wind and 11 degrees Fahrenheit. We were both almost hot when we arrived at home. Our walk route was chosen by looking up the sidewalk for the clearest. Most people do a good job, but some don’t attempt or try so late that it is a lot of icy footsteps. Today I happened to look out the window and spotted the garbage truck across the alley. The driver opened the door in sub zero tempts with a short sleeve shirted arm. Then he stuck his leg out clad only in nylon gym type shorts. He did have on work boots as well as gloves and a hat along with the neon green shirt and shorts. He moved briskly around the truck out of my sight and came back shortly. He had left the cab door wide open so he had to move that aside before he climbed back in and proceeded on his way. Was he trying for the cute look? He looked quite dashing, or noticable in those flimsy clothing items. Paula
