It is something like magic to come home and find the mailbox full. Trash is always more valuable if it has been postmarked, and I will absolutely find a chance to enjoy 5 cents off every time I buy the Sunshine Brand generic laundry detergent, thank you. It comes in a pasty white box lined with pale pink edges. The logo shows a small wooden cottage in the middle of green pastures. A dog plays off in the background, and a beautiful blonde woman is standing next to the clothesline. The sun is setting slowly in the sky, and I have no reason to doubt that this same woman has just finished using Sunshine Brand generic laundry detergent, and I also do not doubt that she is thoroughly satisfied by her laundry experience and her husband. My life has noticeably improved since this purchase.
It is something less than magic to come home and find your roommate hunched over an entire roasted chicken. Fork in hand, the dog begging desperately on the kitchen floor, he looks at me with his jaw still munching slowly. "Mail?"
