Follow-Up: Mangled Mail Box Fixed

Remember Thomas Coates' open letter to the post master?

Click here to see his photos of a mangled opening on an aging mail box, along with his polite letter suggesting improvement.

Thomas offers this follow-up:

Power to the People or If you make a reasonable request and ask nicely, something gets done! 

It's not an elegant fix, but I'm sure it will make the people who said don't spend any money happy and I'm happy with it. It looks like the all-purpose tools used to make the fix were a hammer & duct tape.

As of today, the center drop-off snorkle at the Castro Valley Post Office has been repaired.  The snag has been hammered back in and tape run around the opening to prevent any problems.

The power of positive thinking and taking action.

Thank you, Thomas, and thank you, postmaster!

Patch will post a new photo of the repaired mail box when our photo uploading system gets back to working. We're experiencing technical difficulties today.
