Mailboxes

My dad worked for the United States Postal Service in Missouri for more than 30 years. I mention this because I take instructions from the postal service seriously. Know that the USPS is insisting that Missouri residents check their mailboxes right now.

My dad was a postal carrier for much of his life and this issue is near and dear to my heart. If you see paw prints on a mailbox in Missouri, there's a very good reason it's there and the color really does matter.

I feel left out. I live in Missouri and have yet to find a dryer sheet in my mailbox and it appears that I am the exception. People are seriously finding dryer sheets in their mailbox as the weather warms up and I set out on a quest to find out why. This is the answer.
