I've Got Mail, But...

I'm something of a mail junkie (which is not to say I like junk mail). I get a kick out of corresponding with people; getting books, CDs, etc. by mail; and, thank goodness, submitting my work. This enthusiasm helps as moderator of three mailing lists and member of a handful more.

What do you suppose would be a mail junkie's Kryptonite? Answer: a frozen mailbox door. This has happened a few times since we replaced our last mailbox, shaped like a barn, with one of the staid aluminum tube variety. Probably the box's metallic inner surface doesn't stay warm enough to keep the catch from freezing. Result: I've got mail that can't be mailed.

A little heat vision would be great about now.
