Nat Geo put up [a great photo essay on rural post offices](https://api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/history/2020/10/rural-post-office?ref=cjchilvers.com).

See those old P.O. boxes?

When my post office modernized in (back in the 90s), they offered to sell us the old “doors” to our boxes. I made sure to secure mine.

It sits on my bookshelf now, the original door to my business from 1994 — a reminder to always keep it open.
