Postal Service

Although the United States Postal Service has no official creed or motto, an inscription on the James Farley Post Office built in 1912 in New York City reads, "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Through the years this little phrase been accepted as the creed or motto of the post office, wether it is official or not. Well, maybe not in East Texas.

For the past couple of days, we’ve experienced snow, rain and gloom of night. We had some sleet too. But, no mail service. We’ve only been here about a year, so I can’t say if this is routine for ‘these here parts.’ My suspicions are that it is. To be fair, I did see on a local TV station that the Game Warden office didn’t open until noon. My suspicions about that is, there was no fishing or hunting interrupted. I wonder if our postal person went fishing?

What else could she have done?
