Most of you who stop by my new blog has wandered from Kathleens Step by Step of Corning. Corning NY Step by Step
     I have been going through some of her older posts and Its funny how one photographers sees the same view. Meaning I have older pictures of the corning area that Kathleen has taken. Not knowing the other was in the same area. Maybe even during the same day. I am part of Nikon  photography Forum that shows daily photos and it's funny how we have the same ideas on shooting the ordinary stuff. Like the moon,stars etc... This is why I have added my funny stories from my 19 years of delivering mail and to try not to give you the same views as Kathleen has. This way you see both blogs and enjoy!

You just have to laugh.

I was carrying a part of another route a while back. A large car pulled up and the passenger asked me" Do you have my check?" I said "I don't know who are you?". He gave his name and said where he lived. I told him I wasn't carrying the mail for that area of town. I explained to him that the route was broken up and several people were delivering it. They drive off in search of another carrier and his check. twenty minutes or so go by and the same car pulls up. Again the passenger asks "Do you have my check?" I'm trying not to laugh as I tell him I am the same guy he asked twenty minutes ago. He says"Oh" and they drive off. I am now driving to another spot on the route . I get out of the truck and low and behold! You guessed it! The same car and the same question "Do you have my check?'. By now I have realized the car load is stoned or on something. So, I leaned toward his window and asked him how many mailmen has he seen today. He says " three". I then ask him how many had funny looking safari hats like mine. He says "all of them".  At that moment the driver blurts out "Yeah! He is the same mailman we kept running in to!!" They finally left  and they didn't find me again!
