Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night...

I finally got mail late yesterday evening.

In defense of the USPS, they will not deliver if access is hindered by unplowed streets, failure to clear access to the mailbox for street delivery and sidewalks and steps covered in ice and snow for door delivery. That was the rule when I lived in Cleveland as well. But there when the snow stops, people get out of their house and clear the snow from paved surfaces around their house.

God knows not many people in my neighborhood touched a goddam shovel over the past few days. I think it must be because the south is so religious. It seems people here believe the Lord put that snow there so he can take it away.

It seems like those god-fearing Southerners were right. Most of my snow is melted.

I do think it makes sense that the post office doesn't send somebody out and hazardous conditions to provide me junk mail that I'm going to throw away anyway. It can wait for me, although I know it's not the case for everybody.
 
My Informed Delivery for Saturday showed my freshly renewed NC driver license was in the Saturday mail which finally showed up last night after 6. Sometimes there are important things in the mail.
