I know you don't want to accept it but...
- I used to have a USPS drop box at the end of my driveway
- I now have a community USPS drop box within 1/4 mile of my home and I pass many others as I drive through the Villages
- To use the USPS drop box I need to buy an envelope at my local grocery store
- To use the USPS drop box I need to apply a stamp that I can purchase at the grocery store

- I have seen a UPS drop box but I can't remember which city it was in
- I have no idea where to find a UPS drop box around the Villages
- To use a UPS drop box I would have to find an appropriate box, maybe I can find one at the grocery store.
- To use a UPS drop box I would have to pay for postage and print a label which is fine if I happen to have a working printer.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
