Years of undelivered mail for Bonny Doon residents found in a parked van
Some folks up in Bonny Doon, a community in the Santa Cruz Mountains, have not been receiving all their snail mail in recent years, and it's apparently due to the actions of a private, contracted delivery person who had the mail stored in a van. I guess the old adage about storm and sleet and all those difficulties that plague postal workers just didn't extend to unreliable people who had a contract to deliver the mail in place of real postal workers.
I hope most of the mail was junk mail. I'd hate to think some hard-working writer up there was having acceptances sent to them from publishers and never seeing them.
