At the Post

This was rather disconcerting.

 

I have been trying to drive less

because of the cost of petrol.

So I had not been to the postal

office in two days.

I went there Saturday night

and knew I had  Friday and

Saturday’s mail in the  box.

 

But no.  The key would not

open the box.  So I could not

get to the mail.

 

On Monday I went in and they

said the rental had expired, although

I had not received any notice of

this (otherwise I would have paid

the rentail).

 

So, it was more than 48 hours til I

was able to secure the mail that was

already some 48 hours old.
