The Village Post Office
the post office in arenas Valley,new mexico,is not one to brag about. on a cold winter day the temperature is about 30 degrees
in the post office.it has no heat.the post office used to be a store and a 10-fool ''coca cola'' sing decorates the west wall on the outside.
just above the door there is a sing,in about two inch type, ''post office,arenas valley n.m.'' the post office is a bus stop for the local kids.
as a consequence most of the windows are always broken.once in a while you can't even buy a three cent stamp there.
the mail never gets there six times in succession at the same time.maybe it will get to the post office for two days at 11.00 a.m. the next day it may get there at three o'clock
or not at all.after all these things I suppose it could be worse.
