Thank a Mailman Day – Snail Mail Celebration

This is a perfect day for me to get back into my obsession with Snail Mail. I will buy some stamps today.

Always February 4th – Honoring Snail Mail  –  Thank a Mailman Day is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who delivers your mail. After all, they are there six days a week. The reliable postal worker is always there doing their job, regardless of the weather.Pony Express riders were the most famous early American “mailmen”. Their motto was ” Neither rain, nor snow, nor death of the night, can keep us from our duty”. This motto is believed to be taken in part from a motto dating back to ancient times. Among the most popular variation is “Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we’ll carry the mail. We will not fail”.

Stinson Beach

My fascination with the strange Long Black Waves that continued crashing one after another and not a surfer in sight.

And, finding sixty sand dollars in three hours.
