Well, technically speaking so does everybody else with fingers. Sure, they use them to support and manipulate eating implements, but they use their fingers.


Well, some people without hands use their feet!

I have yet to see a mailperson do their rounds in anything other than an official US Mail vehicle, which have no armor or armament.

Well then, you need to get out into the world. Or at least out of the city where contract carriers deliver the mail in their own vehicle.

Not sure that picture was taken in the USA. The AFV appears to be a Scorpion and the APC does not look like an M-113. The blue vehicle appears to be European and the motorcycle appears to be parked at the left side of the road, like making a short stop to deliver something before proceeding.

Edit: And the AFV has a Union Jack flag on the front.

Good points. I also note that the capacity for mail is lower than in a standard US Mail vehicle. Gotta have room for all those Amazon packages. And the US Mail vehicles often have the driver on the right side to access roadside mailboxes.

Amazon is now trying to deliver its own packages with its own delivery system.

Both are AFVs, the tan tank appears to be a Scorpian with a light auto-cannon while the other vehicle appears to be a FV-432 which might make a nice off road camper.

Mr. Phelps only ever gets a bubble pack envelope with a taped message in it. He used to get them in phone booths, but those have mostly disappeared now.

Status: offline 		To bring back some memories:

Bottom of the ninth, the score is 4-3, there are two outs with a runner on first. The ninth batter in the lineup is next but a player who was not even introduced before the game comes out to bat. The batter is injured and has difficulty walking . . .

Status: offline 		If you are a Dodgers fan:

May 21, 1952 Blackwell was the Reds starting pitcher and Byerly came in relief . . .

quote:

“If this had been a boxing match, the referee would have stopped the fight at the opening bell,” a pair of authors observed. Blackwell wasn’t about to hang around the ballpark. He showered quickly, took a taxicab back to the Commodore Hotel, sat down in the bar for a drink and heard the television announcer blare out that the Dodgers were still hitting in the bottom of the first inning. Blackwell recounted the rest of the tale in an interview with Donald Honig. “Then the next thing I know Bud Byerly comes in and sits down next to me. … He didn’t say anything. ‘Don’t you want to know what the score is?’ I asked. ‘Frankly, no,’ he said. ‘Don’t feel so bad,’ I said. ‘At least they can’t blame it all on us.’


https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/may-21-1952-dodgers-rout-reds-with-15-run-first-inning/

Six major league records were set - in the first inning!

These days, I'm all about hockey. Became a rabid Carolina Hurricanes fan when I moved here in 2002 and remain so today. Excited to see them back in action next week!
