The Mail Way

Awhile back, I told you about 'the goat way' and I also promised you pictures of 'the mail way'. Well folks, that day has come....may I have a drum roll please...I give you - 'the mail way'. (The crowd goes wild.) Yes. Thank you. Thank you. I know. It's a great day. I finally had enough daylight to take pictures that do our mailboxes justice. So, here we go...


Here we have the old green mailboxes,
seasonally attired in duct tape.



And here, the stylish new mailboxes wearing Santa-red
with just a hint of Rudolph-brown.



And finally, peaceful coexistence.


You wish you lived here, don't you? Anyhoo, this seems like a darn good time for a poll. Which way do you think is more sc
enic? The goat way or the mail way? Goat way? Mail way? Here's a side-by-side...

You know I was thinking of you when I was standing on the road snapping pictures. I was also looking around making sure no one saw me. How wacko am I? Actually, judging by the way Peddles had his head down and his hand in front of his face while he waited seemingly out of sight in the van, I'd say he was a tad embarrassed. I suspect there are days when he regrets that marriage proposal all those years ago.

I am thinking that the dump would be the best of both worlds. You would have the discarded mail and more than likely animal poop. What more could a person ask for?

I don't know,I went to the dump aka "the Cavan Kmart" today and I found it to be quite festive.There was some garland around the chalkboard listing the hours of dump operation,the snow on the ground and the lack of odor due to all of the garbage being frozen.After all the reason we still have the dump rather than roadside pick-up is because we like to visit with our neighbors while disposing of our trash.Merry Christmas.

Did you take the camera, Cooter?

Dorito said...

OH!

Q: Where does the Lone Ranger take his garbage?

A: To the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump, dump!

(You can carbon date that joke...)

Liz said...

You're right Dorito. I remember my Dad telling that joke when I was a kid.

Cooter - next time you're at the Cavan KMart, you'll have to get out the camera and take a picture. If you can break away from the socializing.

FYI to you out-of-towners - there was a township meeting a couple of years or so ago to decide whether or not it was time to start roadside garbage pickup (we have recycling pickup only). It was decided that the dump was a place where people socialize and catch up with neighbours. So no garbage pickup.

Is it mostly men who frequent the dump?

Where is this dump you speak of?

Liz said...

I guess I've never taken you by it. Next time you're up this way...boy are you in for a treat.

Dorito said...

The men that go to these dumps...they still have their original teeth?

....you know you're old when....

Liz said...

Um, we all have to use the dump...only the well-heeled people of Millbrook have pickup and I still have my teeth.
