letters in the deluge

I don’t drive this kind of mail vehicle…..and I’m sure that somewhere in New Jersey, this guy’s office had a good long safety talk about not driving into icy rivers. “Not driving into icy rivers”!? Hah! That’s crazy. Who would … Continue reading

down on the tracks

My daughter wrote a recent blog post about life and railroad tracks. You can read her post here if you want…. I like reading her writing. Now, a story that kind of relates to what she was saying is the … Continue reading
