Hubby's work is tough. Those docks, if they're like the ones in north Texas, can be brutal, depending on the weather.

Back in the day, the trucks would back up to these unprotected docks, open the doors and wait for all we mullets to get all the sacks of mail and packages unloaded. Rain, sleet, hail, whatever - the trucks never varied their schedule.

This helped me decide that Rain, nor Snow, nor Dead of night, nor Whatever would keep me from NOT staying with the USPS. ;-)

I think those docks are much like you remember them...of course our weather here is not exteme...still in the winter, the hubby needs his warm jackets, and woolen caps, as he is outside and in the weather for much of his time at work...

And hes quite tricky...he goes through several jackets a wear, just from the wear and tear moving all that mail...so once a year, he just goes to Goodwill, and purchases several shirt jackets...says there no sense on buying brand new jackets, just to ruin them on the post office docks...
