One of the unfortunate rules in life is that if all of us benefit from something good or convenient, it is likely that just a few idiots will ruin it for the rest of us. Case in point: A friend of mine alerted me to the fact that the drive up mailboxes in front of the Broadway Post Office have been removed, and there is a new walk-up mailbox that was installed nearby. I called the Post Office to inquire whether this was temporary (perhaps for winter) or permanent, but the employee that answered told me that there were too many accidents involving cars hitting and damaging the drive-up mailboxes and they decided to remove them. I have seen in the past evidence of how they were damaged and couldn't help but wonder how someone driving 5 M.P.H. could hit them, but like I said, it only takes a few idiots....
So don't blame me when you're getting your butt out of the warm car into the snow and 5 degree weather, I'm just the messenger.
