An Post



The United States Postal Service has a creed: "We are mothers and fathers. And sons and daughters. Who every day go about our lives with duty, honor and pride. And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, nor a nation challenged, will stay us from the swift completion of our appointed rounds. Ever."

The Irish Postal Service (An Post) only delivers mail Monday through Friday but they do so in some of the most unpredictable weather imaginable. Bicycles are one of the methods of transportation that I see most in my neighborhood and thankfully it's been a summer of mostly pleasant weather (not much rain, or snow, or sleet, or hail) for making their rounds.
