This is my post office.  Awesome, huh?  I'm not a big fan of change, can't stand it in fact.  I usually don't think that newer is better - every time "they" update my email or Facebook I mourn the old version.  That's how I feel about my post office.  This precious little building is actually a genuine, real-deal general store.  It's in the town of McNeil Texas, population zero.  The only thing in McNeil is this building and a plant where they excavate white lime.  The store primarily serves the employees of the white lime plant.  The employees even carry lines of credit!  I'm telling you, it's the real-deal.  The post office is just a tiny corner of the store with just one post-person.  It even has the old brass post office boxes.  The one employee loves her job there so we are never met with the surly post office employee, but a cheerful face who knows our names, asks about the family, the whole nine.  It's like Cheers in a post office.  "They" recently threatened to close the place down but after an uproar from the patrons of this little throw-back the word on the street is we get to keep our little gem.  Whew!  A brand-spankin'-new post office might do me in!
