Thank you, villagetinker.

But this mailbox is up north. Her husband is signing up for a class there and I bet he is going to love it. That sort of thing is right up his alley. (I wonder if he is the one who messed up the mailbox and is now on track to (maybe) get a 3D printer. . .Hmmmm, the plot thickens. We'll see how it goes. )
