10/08 “Should I Be Concerned?”

When we’re out delivering the mail, we have a notation we make on the route paperwork “Animal Interference”. This is normally reserved for the any stray dogs that make us unable to deliver a certain part of the route, or in my case, a stray hawk wanting to eat part of my satchel.

That’s a tale for a different time, but I sent this to my Postmaster, citing “Animal Interference”.

The Postmaster responded with “They’re behind a fence, so you should be safe.”

Sir, I don’t think that fence is going to stop those dinosaurs. But I managed to get through the day without being eaten. It was a near thing, though.

Stay safe out there, readers.
