Mail Call or not

I live in a small town and for the most part, it's nice.
It does have a few bleeps. Mail is one of them.
When I first moved here they had no mail delivery at all. You had to get a PO Box. We did. In fact we got two. One for us. One for our company.
Every year the cost of the box got a little bit higher. People started complaining. Then we find out that if you can not get mail delivery, the Post Office must provide you with a PO Box. A small box. The kind of box that a standard envelope gets mangled in.
We opted to stay with our current larger boxes.
Over the years they started delivering to some parts and we fall in those parts.
Last year when the company box hit 70.00 Bill got pissed.
This year when it hit a 100.00 he really got pissed. So pissed in fact he built us a mail box.
This mail box.


As you can see the mail box is made out of stainless steel. Thought behind that was in case some punk tried to take out the mail box, the mail box would take the punk out instead.

On to the change of address.
Putting up the mail box has cause our mail to just about disappear. Well it's out there some where, just not in our box.
It seems our mail comes to our post office and they send it some where else to have a forwarding address put on it and then if we are lucky it gets sent back t our post office and then put on the truck to be delivered to us .......ugh.

My new theory is, if I don't get my bills I don't have to pay my bills. It's the little things that let me sleep at night.....lol

Can Bill mount a camera somewhere where we can get a feed if some punk decides to clunk your mailbox with a baseball bat? I think it would be a riot to put it on YouTube...hehehe
