” The checks in the mail”
truck that caught fire…
🤔
Was this a new (electric) mail truck or one of the old ones?
If it’s electric, we’ll never hear about it on here, but just imagine how many very important letters that were lost…
Definitely one of the older model trucks. These truck are well over 20 years old.
the mailmen still know how to use horses, because they have to get on them once in a while, right?
