We've got mail...


Check out Mr P's latest purchase!
Our home sits about 300 feet from the roadway where our mailbox sits at the top of our driveway.  Mr P must have gotten tired of making the walk up to the mailbox only to discover that the mailcarrier hadn't arrived yet.  He said he spoke to our mailcarrier and got the go ahead to install this gadget.

The little black plastic strip is caught in the door of the mailbox.  When the mail is delivered and the box is opened a spring mechanism pops the little yellow flag up in the air.  Mr P can see the upraised flag from a vantage point on the front porch meaning only one trip to the mail box each day.

 

My walking buddies ohhed and ahhed over the gadget on Saturday.  One of them wants Mr P to research whether or not this comes with a flag on a 10 ft pole since their mailbox sits at such an angle nothing else would be visible. 
It was a scorcher today with the temperature hitting 91 degrees and the humidity was high.  More of the same tomorrow.
Hope you are staying cool wherever you are.
