Something Isn’t Quite Right Here.
A bit over a week ago I walked down to the mail box to get the mail. When I got to the corner things never looked quite right. It took me a little while to comprehend that my mailbox was laying on its side to the north of Marks mailbox and his mailbox was facing north instead of west as it should. My mailbox had been on the south of his mailbox.
Someone had been down on the bottom ground a lot of the morning spraying the fields and going on south from this corner. I saw one sprayer head on north in the early afternoon. I figure the trailer they haul it on caught the hedge post my mailbox is on and pulled it into Marks and on out of the ground.
As my hedge post has a few curves in it, it wouldn’t go back in the hole until I made the hole bigger and tamped the dirt back around the post. I bent the box back more like it should be but the door was still a long way from closing. I went back up to the house and got two small sledge hammers and using them together I got it back so it would close along with Marks, as it wouldn’t close either. They still have some battle scars but they are still functional.
And to top it all off there was a Jury Summons for both Kathy and me in the box. If the government says someone did something, I’ll acquit them, unless it’s destroying mailboxes.
