What ever happened to "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" ? I realized this is a myth and there is no such thing. Here I am paying $40 each time to have all the pathway clear of snow and what do the mailman do? Make a shortcut through the lawn on a feet of snow going from house to house. What are these postal employees complaining?

When she brought it the next day the package was not heavy at all.
