Hauled & Shawled
The mystery of the postboxes is unravelling. Today I discovered talking to the shop owner where one of them has disappeared from that…. hark … it had moved across the road and gained an unsightly pattern around it like a shawl.
Another citizen I talked to suggested all post boxes where now moved to the right hand side of the roads.
The first shop owner told me to call the post office and give them some “boom boom” about the moving and disappearing postboxes, which made me chuckle.
I also learnt from my friend’s 16 year old son last night that there is a postbox just around the corner I had never ever sighted. If the topic of postboxes had never come up I would not have encountered these three snippets.
My friend’s 11 year old also improved my vocabulary by adding the term “trash talking” in news unrelated to post boxes.
Missing mail boxes? Strange? I hope it’s not like the drunken Irish who steal cones, on their way home from the pub and then wake up and wonder where it came from. There may be mail boxes in random houses round Vancouver…or is it the Postal Service? Curious ..
