    “Rethink having a mailbox” if you don’t depend on mail order prescriptions (reduced pricing by some insurance policies, also necessary if one cannot drive to pick prescriptions up somewhere). Or if you of course have internet access and wifi available. Or if you don’t order things online that are delivered by mail rather than Amazon drivers.

    Bumf seems to be all I receive. I much prefer garish and loud colored ephemera.

    Primary season here, so lots of bumf. “You should vote for Julie for Mayor. 17 real estate developers can’t be wrong!”

    Unless tracking says there is a package, we only get the mail once a week now. Easier to throw away all the Bumf in one shot.

    Monday is trash day. The bin is parked next to the mailbox. It makes for easy sorting.
