Scene At The Post Office

A  L  O  H  A   from Honolulu 96815
Feels like
nothing really bad
could happen here.
I enjoy
checking the mail
at the Post Office.












“ Like Alexander the Great 
and Caesar, I’m out
 to conquer the world. -

















- But first I have to stop 
at Walmart and 
pick up some supplies.”

Mid-20th Century Functional
Hawaii is largely 
a natural environment.
Being born in a large city, 
living much indoors,
makes this a 
strangely nostalgic 
space to me












Is that a drone
 waiting patiently?






It IS indeed!
Someone's pet
sent for their mail?
[ Is a drone a critter? ]
















Back In The Day - And Today
Before GMAIL
this was your In-Box
















Look. . . A HORSE!
NOT an every day event
[ Critter!! ]

Yes. It is a calming routine
(usually) to visit the USPS-
A Public Service 
that Works for
ALL of us!

    You saw some neat sights at the post office. We are seeing more and more of those drones aren't we?

    The post office--a constitutionally mandated service that is totally self-supporting! That is a beautiful post office, drone and all. The horses are gorgeous, too. So was the critter the drone or the horse?

    I laughed at the idea of a drone going to get the mail...but hey! I probably laughed the first time I heard that one day I'd receive most of my mail on my home computer. ;)

    Now I know that stunning white horse is a critter for sure. What fun it was going along with you this way. Let's do it again soon!

    Aloha Cloudia!
    Hope you are having a great time! Sorry for the long absence, but it was a harsh 2014...
    Anyhow, enjoy the second half of my post on Valencia, Spain, with some old buildings around!
    Wish you a great Easter and all the best!

    Who knows, maybe we'll all have drones someday, just like everybody* has a cell phone now.

    I've always liked those post office boxes. Those and card catalogue boxes. Wouldn't mind owning one.

    Exciting Royal procession! Loved the touch with our not-so-distant past at the Post Office. I too go there to buy stamps...I have to have them to pay my bills because I am still paying them with paper! Aha...I refuse to be paperless!
