Day after day, I watch on our camera, the postal carrier texting while walking up to the front door, stand there finishing her texting then shoving the mail quickly in the slot only to return to texting as she exits our house. One the days they aren't texting, they actually review the mail to make sure they are delivering all the mail addressed to the property they are entering.

I have circled all the correct addresses and will leave them for our mail carrier (who, by the way, NEVER SHUTS MY gate. But that is another matter), and I will ask her/him to deliver these envelopes tomorrow!
