That would be interesting if it's a new mailbox. Of course here in Idaho,
nary a sign lacks a bullet hole once your five miles out of town.

Hi Joe,
You asked for reactions so I suppose you won't mind a negative one. To be
truthful, I don't care for either one. While they may be an accurate
representation of the less beautiful, less fortunate side of the American
Southwest, I feel that I see enough ugliness in the world as it is, that I
don't need to see more.
As you obviously know there's plenty of beautiful scenes and vistas in
those areas that are uplifting. It's not that I want to close my eyes to
reality, it's just that I would rather vicariously experience those
mindblowingly beautiful slices of your trips as opposed to the less pretty
ones.
No offense intended.
Tom C.

Your reaction is fine, Tom. Sorry if I inflicted some ugliness on you. But
did you read my postscript?
I enjoy both of these places. They are not conventionally beautiful, but I
find them interesting, and enjoyable thus. I am fascinated by the mailbox.
The last time I drove by that intersection was five years ago, and I don't
recall it being there.
Joe
