You've Got Real Mail !!

Here's the basic design. Utilitarian. Works just fine...but read on...

Yes it's jokingly referred to as "snail mail" now, but the Proud Postal Service mail box is still alive and kicking, still patiently waiting at the curb for a non-virtual letter or delightful catalogue or GASP! a package!! Sadly, it collects many bills and "YOU Quality for 0% Interest!" junk...but the DELETE key for this spam is the trash/recycle can next to the desk, or the delicious ripping sound of the paper shredder!

Yes, the mailbox still exists and I thought it might be a fun game to take pictures of the unusual, the beautiful, the odd way that people have decorated these basic pieces of tin. So I took a walk just around my block to find how some people have created their statements to the world...

What about the former farmer who doesn't need
the tractor anymore...but still thinks of John Deere
as a Dear Friend?


Or the military man who brought home a small souvenir
of a long ago attack. I always wonder why it ticks, though.

Or the serious beer drinker who had one keg too many?!

Do YOU know of any interesting mailboxes? If you'd like, send a picture to me via e-mail (shhhh, don't tell your mailbox), so I can collect them on this blog.

Have a fun day and I hope you find something great in YOUR mailbox, either real or virtual!!
