Mary mentions small towns.........The village I live in as far smaller than where Mary lives and the postmaster (Harold) knows damn near everyone by name. We have two rural route drivers and one postman for town delivery so you can see we're pretty small. Like Mary said, if something manages to make it here with my name on it, I'll get it. Mail can also become a source of gossip here too, nothing nasty or invasive really, but not many people here get packages from overseas and the fact that I get a number of things from 'Catters around the world makes me a mail celebrity.....doesn't pay as well as a male celebrity, but.........Having received several packages from Australia, I've gained quite a bit of status down with the hot-stove coffee klatch at the Shoot & Scoot!
