Here's to the person you see six days a week, and probably don't even notice -- your PostPerson. Collectively, they deliver 154,000,000,000 pieces of mail a year! Imagine! And oh, the dangers they face.

Mailboxes are filled with danger, from wasps to (honest!) a snake. They are trained to use their satchels as defensive weapons against dogs -- and sometimes drunks who don't want that cable bill. They drive vehicles that are mostly 25-30 years old.

Surprisingly, cats also present a danger. They often lie in wait to swipe that hand putting mail through the slot. Many PostPeople wear a special glove for those houses.

They are also life savers. About 25 percent of PostPeople have called 911 when they saw something wrong at one of their regular deliveries.

And they love junk mail. They call it "job security mail."

Speaking of junk mail... we as bridge players need to be able to differentiate between junk hand and good hands.
