Hi. I’m Willow’s mailbox post. I’m sorry that she didn’t get to do her usual Self-Help Sunday post but I had a crisis and she was helping me out. See, I hang out on the street corner — at least Willow and the fam live on the corner. I just stand out here, waiting for my daily visit from the very nice mail lady and hoping that the kids rolling by on skateboards and rollerblades don’t crash into me. Life here on the corner is pretty stressful. I am post #5 or 6 and we were on mailbox #7 or 8. See, one of the streets that makes up the corner people have mistaken for the Indy 500 track so when they come flying around the corner, my box and I are sometimes right in their idiotic speed-for-brains path. My predecessors (various combinations of post and box) have been hit, vandalized, burned down, and last night some vandals literally ripped my box off of me.
This is what Willow saw this morning when she looked through the sheers at the windows on the front door. You can see that something doesn’t look quite right.
And once she got outside:
And up close and personal:
So anyway, Willow had to find a platform that would work with me and a new box and then she had to put us all together. She is an idiot about stuff like this not very mechanically inclined so it took a lot longer and a lot more effort and more fursing than should have been strictly necessary. My box has lovely fresh new numbers! But it was 90+ degrees while she was outside doing all that and it left her pooped. So I hope that you don’t mind that she skipped Self-Help Sunday in order to help me.
Signed,
Willow’s post (and new mailbox!)

Thanks for letting us know where Willow is today! Ha! I hope the new mailbox has GPS so she track down the idiots who are doing this.
