A rural farmstead about 2 miles down the road, use to be owned by an old bachelor gent. He went to the care home. Neices/nephews liquidated his house, buildings, and small acreage.
A young couple bought the place. Bull dozed the house. Refurbished and converted barn into a house. Spent alot of money doing it. There was probably only 4 to 6 years in-between these two owners, where nobody received mail at that address.
When the young couple went to change thier address, they were told they could not receive mail there. The rural mail carrier would not go more than an X amount out of thier way to deliver mail to one single new address. Thier options would be, a PO box, a mail box put up along the carriers current mail route, or put up a box along side the closest neighbors mail box.
They chose putting a box up along side the closest neighbors (1 1/4 miles away). Which, is a dirt road that they use to get out when dry, but are rocked out a different way. All because the rural mail carrier wouldn't go to a place he use to go to, or go out of the way more than the X amount of distance to get to, which apparently the X amount is less than 1 1/8 miles (the distance back the other way, that they are actually rocked out).
Seems kind of a short distance to me, for a rural mail carrier to no longer go to. Other box stops that are grandfathered in on the route are easily a mile or two between stops. So, there's going to be many people that face this same thing in the future, is what I'm thinking. Whenever these houses are vacant for awhile in between residents.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Profile: Allis-Chalmers WD45 (Gas Version) - by Staff. Beginning production in 1953, the WD45 had the same general look as the WD tractor which was produced earlier - but was much more powerful. This was due to the new 4-cylinder "Power Crater" gasoline engine with a 4 x 4-1/2 inch bore and stroke. Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance. In 1954 they began offering the WD45 with the new "Snap-Coupler&quo
