Get Rod Serling on the line
Maybe no one else will find this as weird as I do, but let me paint the picture.
Today I needed to mail several items so I drove by the Southern Hills substation of the Post Office. The mailbox at which I stopped was full, but before I moved on to the next one something caught my eye. It was the envelope on top, pictured here:

Now Abilene is not a huge town, but I think the odds are still really slim for me to be the person to drive up at the time that an envelope addressed to me happened to be on the top. Being involved in such a rare occurance could make one feel they should either buy a lottery ticket or perhaps dodge falling meteors. Although I am amazed, I will probably not spend much time doing either.

Well what happened?!? Did you go ahead and pick it up, or are you the kind who just love to get mail, so you let it be???
Although I thought it might be money, I decided to leave it there. The way my luck has run lately someone would have seen me reach into the mailbox and I would have been arrested for tampering with the mail and I would have ended up writing a new Christmas carol, "There's No Place Like Cell Block B in a Federal Prison For the Holidays." I can wait.
First of all, I do not recall ever seeing a mailbox that full. Do they pick it up on a weekly basis? I guess it is Christmas time. Secondly, Abilene is not THAT small. That's a very strange occurance. What could it mean?
This is crazy. I mean I can only imagine your face! I appreciate the fact that you pulled out your camera and took a picture of it. This is just too wierd.

That is freaky! And No! Abilene is not that small! Weird! I had a wierd thing like that happen once.
Rob and I lived in Midland but went "home" and were waiting for a table at my favorite Chinese place with my parents in San Angelo. A family who we did not know was also waiting. I was talking to my Mom when I heard my name "Stephanie Grosz" in their conversation. They went on to say they looked "Stephanie Grosz" up in the phone book and there was no listing. They also were talking about my bank and how there was not one in San Angelo. before I thought it through, I walked over and said, "My name is Stephanie Grosz." The woman looked like she had seen a ghost. The man asked to see some ID. I showed him. He asked me where I banked. I told him. Then his wife reached in her pocket and pulled out my debit card. They had found it that morning when I accidentally left it in an ATM on the other side of town.( Am I the reason those machines beep now until you take your card?) I had not even missed it yet. I can not begin to calculate the odds of total strangers finding my debit card,then 8 hours later waiting for a table at the same place, at the same time as me while talking about my card as I just happened to be standing within ear shot. I was gratefully weirded out for a weeks. I was going to leave on a business trip two days after that and be gone for three weeks. Had my debit card really been missing, it would have messed up my life in more ways than I can count. So I bought total strangers dinner that night and started all my prayers with "thank you" for a very long time. Just confirms in my heart that there are no coincidences in this life.
Sorry my comment is longer than your post.
