On Saturday morning, I went to the local Post Office to buy a book of stamps. Who knew something so simple could turn into a 'story'?!

First, our Post Office, is a story in itself... see here.

But on this day, the guy behind the counter was someone who's been helpful to me in the past... especially after I returned the 2ND time during the whole "P.O. Box vs Actual Physical Address" fiasco! He always goes out of his way to be helpful. And I like him.

But on THIS morning, he didn't like me.

Yesterday, when I arrived home from work, I noticed the mailman driving around the neighborhood in his truck.

No, not your typical U.S. Postal truck... this one was a little Chevy pickup truck -- and the entire truck bed was overflowing (literally!) with boxes and presents that he was delivering to all of the neighbors.

So much so, that I chuckled when I noticed that he was battling with a slight case of "overfill" as I passed him -- each time he tried to inch forward to the next house, another box would fall off the back of his truck. I figured he had it all under control, and simply made a mental note of "the poor guy".
