[Leica] IMG: Country Road by iPhone

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Douglas,

Yes, DW's name is well known, and is being put to good use.  When I 
first went there, quite a number of years ago, he sold and serviced 
Volvo and Honda.  Now he has added Subaru, Buick, and GMC trucks, and 
the buildings have sprouted like mushrooms.  The employees are always 
very nice.

As to the mailboxes, very few are locked.  Most just have a door that 
flips down and back up, and a flag to remind the carrier that there is 
something to be picked up.  On occasion, I will hear of a few cases of 
someone pilfering the contents, but not often.  It is a Federal offense, 
and, if caught, the Feds take it seriously.  I usually put out mail in 
the morning, for afternoon pickup, with no problems.  If I have a large 
check to mail, I take it to the Post Office.

The Nashville newspaper gave up home delivery several years ago. If the 
local (3 times per week) paper is missing, a phone call will get one 
delivered to the house within an hour.

Thanks for looking.
