This brings back memories of when I carried mail back in the East of the US in the winter. Some days the wind would be so strong, it would be very difficult to walk into it. Add some snow or icy rain, and it felt like pins and needles hitting my face. It would be so cold and windy that my eyes would begin to freeze shut. A lot of things would be going through my mind. Like, "Why am I out here in this torturous weather, is this job worth the risk of frostbite? My exposed skin would begin to feel like plastic, as the top layer of my skin became so cold that there wasn't any sensation or touch. The weather was so terrible that barely anyone would be outside. The void of any human or animal activities made it feel like some sort of apocalyptic scene in a movie. But I pushed on. Often into evening hours as it began to get even colder. All that would be out there was me and the howling wind. With seemingly an endless load of mail yet to be delivered, I would think that if I survived today, I would be faced with yet another day, week, and months to come. Now, in retirement, I often dream that I am out delivering the mail in such extreme weather. As in dreams, it feels like there is no end to the suffering. Nearly 50 years since I became a City Letter Carrier, or mailman as the public referred to us as, I now suffer the aches and pains, my mother told me would be the result of working in extreme weather. Having a small pension and all of my children had what they needed growing up at home, was it all worth the pain and suffering? Could I have done something else? I actually don't know. It takes a special kind of person to do that job. Maybe I was that person.

[@jaynecollett3656]

What a brave man you were 👍 sacrificing your health to ensure mail was delivered. You were obviously the sort of man who went the extra mile, congratulations from the UK 👏

Look up a musician named Glen Campbell, he had a song about me and you and a dog named blue, that should be your theme song. Keep up the good work buddy.

He has lived there his entire life and has been involved in rescues ad many competitions on the mountains.. pls do research before jumping to an untrue accusation.

I’m sure not having Blue makes a trip like this just a bit more tedious. Hope you had a great holiday. Being home after this must have helped. Loved it!

Good advice at 19 mins about being prepared to bail if the worst happens. Been in that scenario and was glad I was able to deal with it quickly. Amazes me when I see people with tents and porches that look like a teenagers bedroom. If the worst happens it's best to have your kit ready to go. 👍 Poor Blue must have been heartbroken when he saw you packing then going without him. 🐾

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

So much great fun. Sure do miss those days. I'm 77 and stuck in bed for the rest.... I rely on you and Jarl to put me inside with you (and Blue) when the.weather turns WONDERFUL 👏 P.S. I still can't figure out why those other KZbinrs will advertise "Fierce winds, Storm of the Century, Blizzard, Hurricane force, etc., etc. Then they say goodnight and leave you "hanging" till morning and tell you what a fantastic storm it was and what a "time of their life" it was !
