Way back in Febraury, I wrote about our mailbox being blown into oblivion by a snowplow. About a week later we found the box along the street. Unable to attached it back to the post as it once was and needing to receive mail, we jerry-rigged the box back on with rope. Classy!
About a week ago, who showed up at our door? The Muskegon County Road Commision. Apparently it takes two months to send someone out to investigate.
The man was very nice and noted that they had lots of problems this winter. He asked if we would like to be reimbursed the standard cost of a mailbox (which would not cover the full replacement cost of ours) or if I would like them to try and fix it. In spite of my certainty that asking him to have it fixed would plunge this work order into some governmental blackhole, I relutantly I asked him to try.
They proved me wrong folks. This week, without fanfare or notice, the mailbox was fixed and it looks brand spankin' new! Good work fellas!
Wow, some things never cease to amaze me - that was "get to it now" service!
