• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. While the Postal Service has no official motto, the popular belief that it does is a tribute to America's postal workers.

This image was taken several days ago at my local post office.

You do have to wonder where this mail carrier needs to go that would require the added engine modification of an air intake snorkel on their vehicle.

But I guess that is life living here out in the boonies.
 
Must have installed it in case of flooding, lol! That thing is severely lacking the tires to handle anything but pretending to be a boat.

On a serious note, the postal (right hand drive) wranglers are very popular with the carriers here in the hills and hollars. Never have seen a snorkle on one, though... Perhaps it would be a good idea on some of them after the floods we've had in WV in the last couple years!
