Our new mailbox

Well it's not actually new, only mostly new, but I just
attached the numbers. Turns out after maybe 50 years for the homes on this
small street, the county wanted to assign us all with new numbers. The new
home that went up in the background triggered a county assignment of a new
number, when they discovered the existing numbers were not following the correct
sequence. Somehow the sequence issue was translated into a possible failure
for emergency vehicles being unable to find our homes. There was a load rejection
of the proposal to change addresses and the compromise was the clear placement
of numbers that would avoid any confusion. I hope I can keep this address
for at least another 50 years.
