Welcome to the porch,
@listopencil !
I live in CA too near Yosemite. Bloody hot. Yesterday was the worst until all the smoke from the Santa Barbara area blew in in the late afternoon. Welcome relief here but I'm devastated for the people and animals (domestic/wild) down there. Been there before, terrified this will be our year again. Hope you live in a safer area.
We didn't have an option for a mailbox when we moved here, had to have a PO Box. When they eventually did do mail delivery in our area, mail started disappearing. We've just kept the PO Box, as many here have, and I'm glad we did. It's not that expensive. Perhaps just get one for important/sensitive stuff and packages? IMHO, it's worth it, though I'd love to be able to walk out and pick up my own vape mail instead of waiting days until it can be fetched from the PO.
One other piece of unsolicited advice, it's
mandatory that you check in here at least every couple of days. Otherwise we sic Iffy and Deb (with her lethal fryingpan) on you.
Holy cow! And twin calves. Got the order from Alice in Vapeland with the three tanklets. The ziplocks, no joke, where just big enough to hold one aspirin. They came in a box with a rabbit (Mad Hatter?) on it, filled with Confetti, personalized message, cool playing card. Hopefully this gives you an idea.
Seriously the best $3 in shipping I've ever paid. Bought them for a "lift" after the bad news, it worked.
Edit: After you open the box, you have to take some of the "confetti" out to get it closed again.
