GUEST'S GALLERY: Toruń's Post Office

Toruń's post office has stood proudly in the old market square for many years. It's open 24hrs and now at last there is some queuing system (of sorts) in place! No more pushing and shoving by the Polish mohair berets (old women!).

Postal Fag Break

This postal worker is having a quick cigarette break in the postal depot behind Toruń's main post office. Notice that here in Poland, the postal vans are bright yellow!

The photo was taken from high up across the other side of the main square in the Town Hall Tower!

Deliver the letter, the sooner the better....


Post Office, Adams Run, S.C.

Okay, it's not exactly a Charleston daily photo, but close enough. This is the wee little post office in Adams Run, S.C. I must have caught it right after a fresh coat of paint.

Remember looking forward to the mailman? With email and your comments it's like getting mail every time I check online. I love getting comments and can't thank you all enough. I've been too busy lately to return them like I should but I will! I will.

My grandmother had a Scottish accent and enjoyed her daily trip to the roadside mailbox see if the "Postie" had come. Now all I get are ads that I never open, credit card offers, privacy notifications and regular increases in insurance premiums. They are threatening again to cut out weekend mail delivery and for the first time I can hardly care.

Have you noticed that even the blue mail boxes are disappearing? I often take an envelope to slip in the mail when I go on a walk and end up bringing it right back home again.

Tea time kids! I had another long day with fund raising sales beginning at 7 a.m. Periodically I let vendors in to sell to employees and I get a percentage that the volunteers can use to do lovely things for the hospital. I sold over $17,000 worth of scrub suits, shoes and uniforms in one eight hour day. It boggles the mind. We are going to have some well dressed nurses.
