Well, I got that all covered EXCEPT for the bathrobe part. And I prefer potato chips or the theater packs of Hot Cinnamon and Mike and Ike’s that I just got at the store.

Yep, starting next week, I have to remember to go to the post office by 1:30. if I wait until later (office is closed for lunch from 1:50-3:00), I have to deal with the hordes of kids leaving school, and even worse, crossing guards who will hold up turning traffic for the kid that is still 30 yards away from the crosswalk.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
No … no … no … not Mariah already … please no …
I have a long, dusty gravel road I can use to bypass the high school that can also get me to the post office a few minutes earlier. Paved roads past the high school in normal traffic are 7-8 minutes, gravel road with pedal to the metal is 5 minutes. I consider the gravel road my “In case of emergency” path to the post office.
… NNNoooowwwwww All

Memories of my ill spent youth racing down those roads. That would be my every day route with pedal FLOORED at all times.
My dirt poor farmer relatives had nothing but sand and dirt roads so I learned how to ‘drift’ around curves without ending on the roof from the time I could drive (legally).
The only way to drive gravel and dirt roads!
Unless you are the guy that has to run the grader to fix the roadway… Been there, done that.
Something else I have done is “fly off” the edge of the road and end up in a corn field. I was in my International Scout (not a tractor) and just kept going, what else could I do? Could not see much since the corn was higher than the windshield, did pop out back on the road. When I got home the mount for the plow (that was not mounted) was full of corn stalks. I quickly disposed of them.
Now I should say this was in my teens, the statute of limitations has expired by now. As has the farmer who owned the field I ended up in.
In Wyoming, you follow the ruts as the ruts are the road … no need to use the grader on them.
I had a 1970 International Scout 2WD right hand drive mail truck. More of a party-mobile than a work vehicle. Did go through a few corn fields in my dad’s pickup, though.
