Oklahoma City artist/welder/metal sculptor Ron Ferrell designed a mailbox post for me. He attached the box today — and we'll see tomorrow if the USPS approves.
My previous mailbox was whacked with ball bats, knocked over by drunk drivers and finally crumpled by a city trash truck. I asked Ron to put a big spring on this one so if someone hit it, it would just bounce back.
It cost a little extra to put the cap on the fence instead of just stopping with the stockade pickets. But it makes the fence look more finished, and the hang-around cats are happy with it. I don't even know how Grey Poupon got up there, but he walked back and forth along the whole length of the fence for about a half hour.
