This little piggy holds the mail
Basic mailbox
Woodstock mailbox — where my letters from you will be one day!
Hmmm, I would say "creative"?
I admit, I am having a quiet night, so here goes another posting. I went for another long walk today and decided to take photos of the different mailboxes along Crystal Creek Road. They are such a stark contrast to the mailboxes in the USA. The mailboxes here only need to be able to hold your mail. NO regulations about them (or maybe very little — I don't know the details). They are hung, nailed and placed at just about any height and distance from the road. The mail service is contracted out by the government and mail is only delivered. NO mail is ever picked up from the various "boxes", or, should I say, milk jugs? If you want to send mail you need to take it to the post office.

What does mail look like in the Woodstock mailbox after the kind of storm you just had? Should I just send papier mache?
