[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 277862, member: 8657"] Last December Denver had back to back blizzards for four or five weekends straight. I have a physical therapist friend who only makes house calls to those who can't get out and about and last winter the majority of her clients were mail carriers. Many areas couldn't be reached for a week or more at a time due to snow accumulation and many people gave up shoveling their walks and driveways. As a result, a large amount of mailmen suffered fractures and other serious injuries from falling when they tried to make deliveries. The post office doesn't advertise for Xmas help any more so the mail carriers who were left came in early to sort [B][I]and[/I][/B] tried to keep up with the volume, which is tough to do when Uncle Sam doesn't see fit to hire coverage drivers for vacations, illnesses, etc. So when the people of this fair city did receive their mail maybe once a week during that time if they were lucky, it wasn't unusual for many of them to have screaming hissies at the mail carrier who brought it. "Going Postal". Not hard to fathom that one... [/QUOTE]
