Ever get a guilty feeling when you have not blogged in awhile? Well, Joe and I were uploading pictures (actually Joe was playing an online computer game while I was doing this), when we heard a loud "boom"! We looked at each other and then at the time, 10:40 p.m. We did not hear a car (so it was not a car backfiring). There was no follow up noise. We checked to see the children were in bed. (All were except baby Susannah who is a night owl with us). Joe went outside to look around and came in several minutes later with smoking mail. Our utility bill was shredded and brown on the ends. Friday night vandals? Offended migrant workers?
A friendly officer from the Provo Police Department came and took pictures and had us fill out a police report. Still very much awake and incredulous now at 11:30 p.m. Thank goodness we have not replaced the ol' mailbox yet...it is on our to do list for Spring. (Joe just brought in the mail--it is very smelly, gunpowder...The officer commented that to blow up our black metal mailbox it would take quite a charge...perhaps even a homemade bomb(?!).

That's crazy about your mailbox! Like you said it's a good thing it wasn't your new one!
That has to be one of the funniest things i have ever seen! I don't know why. Just the whole "smoking mail" thing. You guys had a good attitude sounds like. If only someone would slip one of those home-made bombs into the Arapahoe house! :) Take care.
