And in my town, the town-folk do mostly go pick up their mail from their PO Box. Not the Rural-Delivery folk, but the "townies."<BR/><BR/>I am loving how you capture these little quirky bits of your area. You know how you can bring a box of something into your house, and then if it sits there for a few weeks you stop seeing it? Well, I'm sure that's how 95% of the population (all 12 of 'em??) regard the greater Mathews region... but you, you are looking at it through fresh eyes and a fantastic camera lens and preserving those bits of history. And that, my friend, is priceless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-29691946708156196292008-05-15T19:58:00.000-04:002008-05-15T19:58:00.000-04:00Foolery, I already thought of the bucket idea.

If that is the case, my feet should smell sweet as a rose since the MALES in this household cannot seem to direct their flow into the appropriate receptacle, therefore it is usually ALL AROUND the receptacle and my BARE FEET traipse through far too often. Yes, it's DISGUSTING. (But now I can rest easy that my feet don't stink.)Pookie doesn't have a beehive hairdo, but it certainly has the POTENTIAL to be bee-hived...it's very "teasable."<BR/><BR/>Icey (and Kaffy, and Foolery if you buy a plane ticket) - There's a STREET DANCE in Mathews Saturday night.

Or perhaps she peed on her feet, as I've heard that peeing on your feet alleviates foot odor, no kidding (read it on the INTERWEB, and that's gospel for sure). I'd rather have regular foot odor than pee foot odor. With a name like "Pookie" one would HAVE to have a huge personality...and a beehive hairdo. But then maybe she should be called "Poofie" instead. Oh, enough from me.
