I managed not to get run over while I installed the new mailbox. The flaw of curbside mail delivery is that one has to spend some time in the middle of the road to put up a new box. The new box is a sturdier version of the last one, with the top attached with bona fide screws instead of some cheap plastic pegs. The other styles of boxes in stock at Home Depot would have required setting a new post into the ground, and the ground is still frozen. I think I'll see about encasing the new box in a concrete pillar or a brick column come spring when it warms up and dries out a bit. That might not keep people from knocking the box off again, but at least they won't leave an encounter unscathed.
On a completely different subject, the new Energizer battery commercial features penguins.
