The mail...

How much junk mail do YOU get? Unless you've moved recently, it's probably a lot!

Now the next question is, what kind? If you're a quilter it's about sewing. If you're into boats you get all sorts of woodworking stuff. And if you've recently bought a rusty old RV (like our Rambo) you're now on that mailing list as well.

I will have to admit this RV stuff is a bit different than anything we've gotten before. There was one almost (but not quite) irresistable offer for a book that would tell us...
- how to dip aluminum foil in water (that sounds hard), then rub it on the exposed metal where it's rusted (like all over) and "Voila!". Supposedly it works wonders - humm...
- we could also learn how to install a 36 inch flat screen TV when there's only room for an older 24 inch one. (Are those flat screens flexible or what? - curiosity almost got me there)
- and the one I loved the most - a "clever way to prevent someone from stealing your sewer hose"... think about it...

Today's mail also had a mailing from our local electric company offering its customers a chance to "Win a Weekend Getaway to a New York Wind Farm!" I can tell you I've been on that ridge under those wind generators and its one of those remote places... However, since we're going to an Energy Conference tomorrow that includes a tour of that very same wind farm, I'll let you know what the real scoop is.

What does all this have to do with the photo? Nothing, except it's the view as we leave our post office. Isn't that purple house cheerful? It really shows up against the snow. Those folks do NOT let winter get them down!
