I have never received my mail after 10 p.m., but sometimes after 7, which is already too late. This happens when our mailman is off and a mailperson unfamiliar with the route has to take over his route after they complete their own .
At least the mail carriers are wearing lights on their caps at night now. I told my mailman I was glad the Post Office had started issuing carriers with the lights . He said they are not PO issue - the carriers have to buy their own ....

I would like people in the neighborhood to know that I had a terrible
scam experience yesterday. Someone called and said he was representing
Publishers clearing House and that I would be receiving 500,000 on
thursday between 9 and 11. He then told me that I would owe the irs
alot but he had arranged a small finance service to help me. I smelled
a rat and said I would rather let my C.P.A. handle such matters.
Immediately he hung up. I have informed the Publishers Clearing office
about this.Everyone should watch out.
