Be careful what you pray for: you just might get it. If you’ve ever been tempted to ask God to give you a sign, be aware that the Deity might take you literally. Does God have a sense of humor? Only if you think having a snowplow-pushed road sign land on some hapless stranger’s car is funny. Or perhaps you have to see the other side of this sign to see the humor:
Maybe parking in front of the Waban Post Office, even on a Saturday when the one-hour parking restriction isn’t in effect, is never a good idea. During snowplow season, no sign anywhere is safe, so let drivers beware.

(Our mailbox looks very much like that sign right now. Rural mailboxes don’t stand a chance when the snowplows come through.)

Yes, I used to have a rural mailbox, and we had a constant battle with the snowplows & our rural mail carrier. If we put the box where it was safe from plows, the mail carrier couldn’t reach it with her car. If we put the box where the mail carrier could reach it, it got smashed by the plows.
Eventually we gave up & got a Post Office box.
