I i would like to thank the letter carrier. When. When i was a little boy my parents gave me a book called they carried the mail. I only remember one sentence neither neither snow, nor sleet, nor rain, nor dark of night shall save these careers from the swift completion of their appointed routes which i believe were words sponsored by the king of babylonia i dont no how many hundreds of thousands of words we speak, but we should all be aware of the struggle of the letter carriers.
