Diane Putnam replied to Pat Del:

Yes, but I couldn't find it. So, I now live at the post office. ;-b
There is a wonderful, hilarious short story by Eudora Welty called Why I Live at the P.O. art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostoff.html

A tomb-like atmosphere, something grand, Egyptian.

Diane Putnam replied to Steve Bucknell:

It feels that way inside. Classic 1930s art deco gov't building. Thank you, Steve!

Stick-Man was in trouble. I hope he escaped rather than stopping to read his mail. ;-)

It was all just bills, anyway, so he threw it into the fire! Thanks, Ronald!

Sylvain Wiart replied to Pam J:

Thanks Pam
After a couple of lines, I gave up google translation (a real disaster)
But I keep the name of Welty in around of my memory

Diane Putnam replied to Sylvain Wiart:

Sylvain, you can probably find her stories translated into French. Perhaps at a large library? The P.O. story is in this collection: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Curtain_of_Green
