Default Re: Mail?

If I pick up my mail every third day, my mailperson is lucky and I'm a half block from the mailbox. Just not high on my priorities. I know approximately what is coming when and go when I need to see the mail. Anything else can wait.

The nice part is you go in your golf cart or walk, bring your pets if you have any (or just pet those that are there) and have a nice chat with your neighbors. There is a very social feel about the mailboxes here.

If you receive a larger package, you will find a key in your mailbox. That key goes to some "community" boxes for larger packages. Very large boxes have to be picked up at the post office. So, tis best to have your family mail the big stuff via UPS or FedEx -- they do come to your house.
