Mailbox

Ok wow! I don’t like to make it a habit of posting mailbox pictures from the flickr mailbox group. I prefer sharing new mailbox photos from my readers and of course the ones I find in my area. However, I couldn’t resist posting this flower mailbox. It’s totally nutty.

Gord W. from Thieving Joker shared these two ugly mailboxes with me today:

The ugly headless chicken mailbox of Kaua’i

And one of the least inviting mailboxes I’ve ever seen

Thanks Gord!

You can click on the pictures to see them and get more information from his Flickr photostream.

I’m going to try to go for a drive this week to get pictures of my own, but for now here’s a new one from the flickr mailbox group.

Interesting Mailbox

I know one of you smarty pants will know what this is.

I’m just back from my trip to Vegas.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to rent a car and drive around any nearby suburbs looking for mailboxes and nobody sent in any new ones while I was gone, slackers!

I’ll get back into the swing of things tomorrow.  Hope you all had a good weekend.

Whoever loses takes their mailbox down:

Bah who am I kidding, we all know who it will really be:

Inexpensive wines I enjoy. (I mean the $8-$15 range, not the Two-Buck Chuck variety).

Fish Eye Pinot Grigio

Clos du Boise Chardonnay

Penfolds Shiraz

Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon

Do you have any recommendations? Or would you just rather drink a Bud? Share with me. (your opinions, not the Bud, it sucks)

Woman’s Ashes Back After Accidental Sale

ELMIRA, N.Y., Aug. 7, 2007

(AP) A large ceramic turtle containing a woman’s ashes has been recovered after it was accidentally sold for 50 cents at a rummage sale.

When Anita Lewis of Elmira sold the turtle Saturday to a woman with plans to use it as a cookie jar, she didn’t know it held the ashes of her husband’s late wife.

Terrence Lewis’ previous wife had collected turtles and the couple’s home was full of them, Anita Lewis said.

She realized her mistake and began a frantic search that led to the Salvation Army Thrift Shop in Horseheads after an anonymous caller’s tip to the Star-Gazette of Elmira.

Elmira, Elmira
Her body was on fire, Elmira

I heard about it from Lis at About Every Little Thing. She was out of invites, but after asking begging, on Gorilla Sushi, I was able to sucker one out of Laurie from virtualme.  Thanks!
