A Tale of Two Post Offices













This is Foster Post Office, conveniently located at Foster, Virginia.














Foster is the post office in Mathews you drop by if you want to start the process of obtaining a passport.

(I had to go here to pick up the application years ago when Son's class took a trip to Canada.)







(That paper machine on the left looks like it has eyes and a head.
And it's wearing a red coat.
It especially looks like this if you're suffering from sunlight deprivation.)















Yep, Foster is a full-service post office.





















Below is the Mobjack Post Office.







Can't see it? Why it's right there. Next to the sign which declares it to be so.















The sign is taller than the (so-called) post office.
Also, if I wanted to buy some stamps here, I am assuming
I'd work with the pine tree to complete that transaction.















From a different angle.
(Nope, that building is not the post office.)
















Anyway, this comparison of two post offices, one of which I'd like to suggest* might be more of a cluster of mailboxes near some very tall pine trees, is now coming to a close.



Have a fantastic weekend.


*I'm no expert on post offices.  But I'm pretty sure most people would expect there to be an actual office or at least a counter (?) if one is going to assign the label "post office" to anything.  Perhaps I'm just old-fashioned and stuck in my ways.  Either way, have a nice weekend.
