just for a few minutes. just a simple salutation and thank you. postal carriers have such a repetitive job, sometimes a smile and greeting helps a person through the day.

Funny story.. I was chilling at home with a buddy getting ready to go to MY wedding rehearsal. So we're chilling in the garage and the mail guy comes by and gets out to hand me the mail (even though the mailbox is right there). I've always made small talk with him and have even given him a bottle of water on a couple of occasions and a startbucks card for christmas. Anyways, he tells me "It's my last day and I"m finally retiring after 35 years. I'm like, "Dude we need to have a few beers to celebrate." So we stroll on in the house and we have like 4 beers each. I'm totally running late and I tell him thanks and shit and he's like good luck in marriage.
I wonder how many people's mail didn't get delivered that day.

Hardly ever see the USPS delivery guy...Mailbox at the curb, get to talk once in a great while if I'm home and outside when he's making deliveries.
He's been pretty busy with me this week:
Amazon.com deliveries, got my recorder, lamps for headlights, 3V caps for STARR!, couple of books...
