It seems a local mailman has written a book. Check it; Vincent Wyckoff reads from Beware of the Cat: And Other Encounters of a Letter Carrier tonight at Lyndale United Church of Christ. Of course, the job of a mailman hasn’t exactly been romanticized to the point of, say, a truck driver. (I chalk it up to the regular hours and cushy benefit packages.) But a mailman’s workday does afford the opportunity for exercise and to walk about the world, which automatically makes the profession seem more attractive. Can country western letter-carrier ditties be that far off?
