an advantage of living in a small town:
The postman knows you. I saw this on a blog earlier in the week and apologize for not remembering which one it was. The story can be found here.

great story! It is funny because we are loosing those small things as we progress into a digital world. I doubt saying you have a vague idea of someone's email address would help deliver a message. But who's to saw the web won't evolve to become more location based. Might be interesting!
ReplyDeletewhenever i wrote to my grandma in ireland, i would just address it: "granny nancy reilly, finnea, ireland" i asked my mom once how the postman knew what house it was and she said, "there's only one nancy reilly in finnea!"
ReplyDeleteLiving in a large city you totally forgot how simply is the life in the country, it's like the time stopped around there. It must be definitely interesting to live that way, without the pressure of the tech society and where everybody knows you and care about you.
ReplyDeletecute! :) in our town, the postman knows everybody.
