Oversized junk mail. Too much of it! Searcy AR history of mailboxes.

 Too much oversized worthless mail!

 It will not easily fit in mailboxes.  Mail carriers must not like carrying the oversized mail.  Makes me think of the history of mailboxes.  My older house and most of our Searcy Arkansas older subdivisions still have little hanging mailboxes beside the front door and the "mailman" still walks through the neighborhood and delivers the mail.  Wonder how they like this big stuff?

That made me start thinking.  Betcha you have paid no attention to mail boxes.  Older subdivisions in Searcy like Cloverdale and Lambert Terrace all have the little front porch mailboxes.  Later there were lots of mailboxes on posts beside the driveways of the homes.  Much better!  And now we have those huge brick pillars  with the mailboxes built in! They cause more damage for sure and the damage happens more if they are on both sides of the street.  It is harder to back out without hitting a neighbor's mailbox and costs more to repair the car and the brick!  And the neighbor might hit yours!  Mine has been knocked into or downed several times.

So get out of the house for awhile, drive around and search mailboxes.  It is interesting and kinda fun!
