Damn that guy who created that Postal Creed. Rain, snow, sleet, dark of
night, it is fricking cold. I'd like to wring his neck on those cold mornings and rainy days. Nothing stays dry even the rain gear gets so soaked the mail gets wet. The mailbag fills with water when you open and close it and of course the water does not drain because the bag is waterproof. Thus again wet mail. There are capes that keep this from happening but you can't afford to spend your uniform allowance on a cape when the over charge you for the shoes, shirts and pants. Your lucky to afford a $350 rainsuit, a $180 Jacket and gloves. And that's years ago. Don't know what the prices are now days.

You should live in Illinois. We only have street side mailboxes for the mailperson to drive up to and drop off mail. I can't remember the last time I saw a mailperson walking.
