            That's right kids, this used to be the only way you got ANY mail!

I might be dating myself with this shot but for me this is and was the only way you got any sort of mail.  Think about it, how else can you possibly put a cherry bomb in someone's mail box?

This was shot up in Madrid, New Mexico.  Madrid is an artist colony of sorts, at least it was when we were there.  They're famous for the ending of the film Wild Hogs (2007) being set and filmed in the town and in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, starring David Bowie the miners' houses on New Mexico Highway 14 can be seen.

Madrid used to be a company owned mining town and the Belinda Vasquez Garcia's novel, The Witch Narratives: Reincarnation (2012), is set in Madrid during the 1920s and 1930s.

Cool place to stop and have a Chai while you reinvigorate your Chi!
