Did I mention that I'm in Texas? Far from the District, and its swirling media scandals.
Today, someone rang the doorbell. I'd expect that unsolicited visitors don't come frequently through Post Oak Bend (pop. 432), but there stood at the door a woman bearing packages. Not gifts, but the mail. The town is so small (the town is so small, it's not in fact a town), the U.S. Postal Service won't service it—the lady was a vendor whom POB residents pay to deliver letters. I assume no one here pays any taxes or has much use for services they can't themselves provide; what they could use (and I speak from personal need) is a saloon.
