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.
Mailbox discarded on a pile of wood scraps just off of Kentucky 95, Calvert City, Ky. I can recall seeing this box when I was a kid, but I never knew who Ray Foust Sr. was.
Apartment building mailboxes in Sydney. I assume the letter carriers are allowed to comply with that instruction in Australia? They wouldn't be in the U.S.
“Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.” -Hedda Hopper
This mailbox is found in the warrens deep beneath the West Bank at the University of Minnesota (TC). I love how several different eras of the the US Mail are represented.
This mailbox sits right at the intersection of the road to the Chiracahua Monument, but there's no house here.

Out among the Joshua Trees on the "Extraterrestrial Highway", Nevada State road 395 near Rachel, NV. The only human artifact for miles around, it's a good meeting point for folks probing the edges of Area 51.
(Once upon a time it was actually black.)
Beautifully repainted. This is one of the old-fashioned types of mailboxes, made of wrought iron and placed into the door (or nearby) of a house.
This is part of the amazing decorations created by Jorge Selaron:

He has added tile and paintings to every conceivable part of Rua Manuel Carneiro. We spent quite a bit of time, walking down the steps and taking photos.

Here's the mail, it never fails. It makes me want to wag my tail. When it comes I want to wail, "Mail!"
Yeah, I have too much time on my hands and no social life whatsoever.

One of fifteen images of interesting mailboxes seen during my February, 2018 visit to Sanibel Island, Florida, USA. I usually look for mailboxes, when I'm in a new place. As I photographed one mailbox, the homeowner & I chatted. He said there was a poster of interesting mailboxes at the post office. 33 were pictured! Someone else finds mailboxes interesting! I went to the Visitors Center & asked for a street map of the island. Our last day, Jim & I cruised for mailboxes. It was a lot of fun! To see all of my mailboxes, please visit my "mailboxes" album!
