That's great in this small burg where I live , well I live on the
out back of 3085 in A small Texas town, well the other day someone
vandalized my mail box, tore it to smitherines, and the United
States Postal Servive in this small town because of a mistake that
has never been corrected in X-number of years has told everyone
they cannot deliver down a 200 yard streach of well travled road
designated a Private Boad by some original survey, well I know for
three years that some crippled up neighbor lady next door to me has
been calling the county commissioner and they just never "git
around to a fixin'" the problem so she has to drive a 10 mile round
trip just to get her mail which is mostly circulars... thats all
the entertainment she has as her children eight of them will never
come to see her, the reason I know this some Doctors in the local
hospital buchered her and I took care of her for two years she
almost died, no one would come out to help so while I was
recuperating from surgery myself that didnot turn out very well I
heard these calls. Now I am a disabled vetran and have very little
money but now I have to either drive my big old gas guzzlin pickup
into the post office or put up another mailbox that will be
vandalized, the county commisioners outgoing or incoming will not
return my calls cause they got their nose outta joint wellI figured
enough is enough and I sent me a letter to Senator Obama and asked
him to help as it seems everyone in Texas is just so occupied that
they cant take care of business but you let one of these here local
pork barrel politicians show up and everyone rushes to them. Now
WHUT"S wrong with this here picture, well I just got plumb long
winded, hope I didnt git to long winded, oh yes I live in BUFFALO
City, Leon County, Texas address 9177 P.R. 3085

and may the God of your choice watch over and keep you, after all
