Have you ever noticed the not one but two mailboxes in front of A2Z Science and Learning Store? Why two? They both have the same pick-up times (3pm Monday – Friday, 10am Saturday).
A2Z on King Street in Northampton with the most helpful friendly staff ever.
Don’t get me wrong. I love having a mailbox for my mail on my walk to work. But having two to choose from really fuels my already off-the-charts anxiety. Is this the best one to mail the mortgage? Maybe the postperson only takes from the other one today. Maybe this one is the prop mailbox.
Why the choice?
Choices, choices.
And as if the choice between two isn’t enough, the one on the left sits up on this cement block as if it were a pharmacist – lording just a few inches over the other one. Honestly, what gives?

one is for giants. one is for hobbits.
Hmm. Notice the video camera above them, pointing directly down, but not at the front door at all. Clearly it is an experiment of some sort, to see if people instinctively go to the taller mailbox. Lots of government money involved. Somewhere, the forever stamp is laughing.
I’ll ask the Finns next time I see them if they know why there are two. I wish I had read this before just now because I saw them this morning. Drat.
Remember Jerry Seinfeld’s material about what is it with the pharmacist; why is he two feet above the rest of us? Gold!
