Thank you, Providence...

...in the person of one of my favorite chatty customers. Despite the hot weather, he had rolled himself out on his porch to wait for me to come by with his mail. So instead of delivering his mail and heading back to my truck, I stopped to talk - which saved me from being pancaked by a large limb from an old elm. We had just started chatting when we heard a god-awful cracking noise and looked just in time to see it hit the ground where I cross the street.

So thank you. Especially after I remembered a carrier in Missouri was killed by a tree limb just last year, and that sunhat I wear ain't no hard hat.
