ON THE BACK BURNER

 Someone knocked over our mailbox. Out in the country, we were used to kids knocking over mailboxes. That was what they did for fun. Drive down a country road at night, with a baseball bat and -----knock over mailboxes. But here in our sub division? Then the maintenance man asked me if I knew who did it. Like one of my friends maybe knocked it over !  I can imagine how it happened. I noticed  it this morning on my walk with Noodle. I'm thinking that maybe the NYT's delivery guy miscalculated when he was speeding down our street, throwing our newspaper. He usually drives on the wrong side of the street and takes a second to throw the paper. When I walk Noodle and it is still dark, I carry  a bright light and when I see the paper guy coming, I pull Noodle way over. Tomorrow, I will see if I notice any marks on the paper guys car. That is if he slows down without hitting me or Noodle.
