Press the buzzer, and who's going to hear it? The cockroaches and
spiders? She's getting her mail from the CAR, not sitting in the house
waiting for it. Probably, on the way home from work. She isn't home
when the mail is delivered.

Frankly, I don't see the point of all this. The simple solution is to
get out the damn car and LOOK.

I don't know why she hasn't been harrassed by the postmaster for the
following reasons:

1. Stone pillar mailbox is a road hazard.
2. No flag if rural free delivery (i.e. a mailbox by the road).
3. The box is too d*mned high.
