The Disappearing Art of Post Offices
For a month after I stopped working at the Post Office, I found myself drawn to them like I was in a weird, abusive relationship-cycle.

Two of these are already shut down, which makes these pictures ready for the history books.

The mailman/dog relationship is no lie. It’s like they can smell it on you, a scent that triggers their hunting instinct. But the owners are worse. Opposite of owners who talk to their pets in baby voice are the ones who scold their pets as if they were aristocratic children.
"He won't bite you, but he will lick you to death," - Every dog owner.
