Big trucks

Well a big truck missed his turn and took out the CBU mailboxes we use to get our mail. This isn’t the first time this has happened. The last time they were taken out was because of a really bad storm. Now on top of the normal routine I have everyday that is completely exhausting, I have to add a trip to the post office until they are replaced. Our cbu mailbox was pretty much brand new and now we have to replace it. I am annoyed by this.

I hope that it doesn’t happen again this year, because commercial cluster mailboxes can be expensive if they have to be constantly replaced. At least we have a good company that we get them from. It shouldn’t take long for them to have the new one up and ready to use, probably only about a week. I really shouldn’t complain that much. I guess I am just used to my routine.

New Mailboxes

So I live in a rural area. We don’t have house to house mail delivery, we have cluster mailboxes. Ours were destroyed by the last storm that passed though the other day. I don’t know if a tornado got them or what it was. Perhaps flying debris or just straight line winds did it, but we have to replace them now with a new clustered mailbox.

We are looking at approved cluster mailboxes the association picked out for us to decide on. In the long run it doesn’t matter which ones they pick as long as they work. I hope they are replaced by the end of next week, because I am having to run to the post office to get my mail until then, and that is a bit of a drive. It is worth living in the country, so the kids have plenty of room though.
