Yeah... my old ... old ... postman used to park and walk the route. Seems like this news article is small potatoesAnd yet when they drive by in their little sedans, they have to reach up to put the mail in.
Anyway, that's one small area in one not heavily populated county.
140 mail boxes out of tens of thousands. And that made the news? Some Karen contacted KCCI and bitched about it. Fix the dang mail box and move on. Good grief.
>> Coincidentally, while we were chatting with Farrand, the mail carrier drove by, stopped, delivered the mail with no problem, and drove off. It's not clear why the mailboxes have to be raised now. <<
Sure, because that person was driving a small car. People usually drive their own vehicles to deliver mail here. There aren't officially owned postal vehicles in most of these places. Once in a while we have a mail carrier who drives a Jeep and reaches straight across while those in cars reach up, and I reach down to get it if I'm coming home from someplace and stopping at the top of the driveway to get the mail.
Crazy what people gripe about - fix your mail boxes!
