Too bad that didn’t happen during the 2020 election-lost fraudulant votes would be a bonus. Glad the driver made it out alive! Was it icy roads that caused the truck to go off the bridge

Trial run of the USPS’ new subaquatic delivery service. Fan mail from some flounder.

Rule of thumb: Make backups of everything you mail.

What damaged the top of the truck?

The tops of many trailers these days are often a lightweight semi-transparent material to save weight and cost of construction. I'm guessing the impact with the bridge dislodged it and the wind resistance rolled it up.
