Love that! I'd settle for a 44-tonner, though. RSes are hard to find these days.

Griefers, if/when the day comes that I cannot walk from my house to the street (45') to get my newspapers, or handle my trash to same, that's the day it is time to check into 'Sunrise Estates', 'New Horizons', or whatever.
US Mail on my block is 'houseside'; the newscarrier, for I know not what (likely a superstuffed envelope at Xmas) will deliver to doorstep (one little old lady on the block, who has been here longer than my 34 years, has just that) and the waste hauler (Republic) does offer for a set charge, 'houseside' handling (one 'taker; uh, rather wealthy', to my knowledge).
It seems like I recall a Lifetime TV movie (the usual; abusive husband, mentally and/or physically battered wife) where the male's idea of retrieving the US Mail was hop in the SUV and back up the length of the drive - or otherwise make like this Wash Lottery ad.
