USPS - America's heroes
Late afternoons, I frequently sit my deck wrestling with story lines on my laptop, when the postman walks past. We exchange hellos and I tease him about being the most popular man in the neighborhood, that all the women await his visit each day. Strangely enough this is all too true as retirement is nine tenths boredom. Checking their mailbox is an event the ladies look forward to each day.Insert key, open door and remove mail. It is a ritual. Advertisements, catalogs, Medicare announcements and an occasional bill. The contents matter not, it is the anticipation that counts. Though the contents are important. Often very important. The US mail is important for America.

Very often poorly paid and under-valued work, it's a positive outcome of the pandemic that we're more appreciative of services which are essential in more than one way.
Some men also like seeing what's in the post for them and having a chat.
