Mail come yet?

The postal carrier has several steps to climb to deliver the mail, but the resident(s) have quite a few steps to descend and ascend to get their mail. Before our bills went “paperless,” this was exercise!

This was taken from the street while Clare & I were taking our granddaughter for a [stroller] walk. There is no driveway for this house alone. As best as I can determine, this house shares a driveway-to-the-street with a neighbor and both houses’ occupants drive up the hill and turn left-or-right to access their homes at the top of the hill.

I don't even want to think about what this is like when there is snow and ice. After all, this is New England.

Oh this is so familiar! The village where we live is located on hills in the middle of woodland and many houses are up a hill. Sometimes their garage is down the hill!

Nice POV! I'm staying with paper bills and I still write checks. After twice getting my debit card and credit card numbers cloned, paper is my safest place.

@corinnec Oof. House on a hill with the garage down the hill. A climb at the end of a long day...

@marlboromaam While we have pared down to a trickle what requires a check, after getting burned twice, I can't fault your current choice. How'd the "cloning" happen, if you know?

[Mags]

@rhoing Have no idea. I figure it must've happened in Wally World. You know they have apps on smart phones that can scan through your purse, through your wallet, etc. and they thieves are very creative at getting near you to do it. Just thank God for text purchase alerts! I had to call Visa and my bank and shut them down. Then there's the PITA of getting and waiting for new cards.

@rhoing I also signed up with the USPS for "informed delivery" so I'll know if any of my mail has been stolen. They send you an email everyday with pictures of the mail you're supposed to get.

@marlboromaam Clare has "informed delivery" for us; here's a link for those who don't know what this is:
https://www.usps.com/manage/informed-delivery.htm
It has helped us follow up a couple times.

@rhoing The best thing the USPS ever did! But I still think the old Pony Express is quicker with deliveries. LOL!
