But then there's this.....

Jeremy Mayfield’s wife files for bankruptcy

In a move that will allow Jeremy Mayfield to delay the sale of his foreclosed-on property, Mayfield’s wife, Shana Sessions Mayfield, has filed for bankruptcy.

The move was not a surprise as the Mayfields have seen the bills stack up ever since Mayfield was suspended by NASCAR for what NASCAR officials said was a May 2009 positive drug test for methamphetamines. Mayfield contends the test was a false positive for a mix of prescription and over-the-counter medication.

Rowdy, don't feel bad. I don't even search the internet anymore for NASCAR news. DPK gets it and posts it well before they do:D
 
My question ---- with the No Trespassing sign and Beware of the Dog sign, why did the postal person drive up to the house?
And why on Earth get out of the vehicle. She could easily have honked the horn, or better yet, left an attempt to deliver notice in
the box. Something's not right.

This cries out for a punch-line. What the hell does it take to warn a postal worker? Flares and sirens? Letter carriers should be able to read.

Where's Buckaroo when you need him?
 
Maybe she wanted some $$$. On the other hand though, if she'd of followed NASCAR she'd have realized he flopped out some time ago.

To get her stamp licked.

This lady is going to ruin the term "going postal". I'm going to fill my gas tank while smoking so I can be a millionare too.

Okay, okay. Y'all want to know why she did what she did. First of all, I don't know all the particulars and I'm assuming that no one else here does either. But that being said, here's the skinny from a mailman. In the eyes of the law, signs pretty much mean nothing, just a good warning. To be specific, unless there is a lock on the gate, anyone can gain entrance, including people who can't read, children etc. That is not a good excuse I know, but try holding up in court with something like that. But even so, postal employees have the right to gain entrance for delivery. If the owner doesn't agree, they can stop delivery at any time. Then the delivery person will have much less excuse to enter the property, but still the law doesn't exclude them from entry. I don't know how long this carrier has worked as a carrier or even if she was familiar with the route she was on. I'm thinking that Mayfield lives on a rural route because of location, but again, I'm not sure. The PO hasn't hired any career employees for many years and as such many of the subs are temporary and are not familiar with many of the routes they work. As a regular carrier, I know my route and the dangers that linger here and there, but there are times when I am required to carry parts of a route that are new to me. In 30 years of doing this job, I'm pretty aware of what to watch for but who knows what lurks behind that bush.

Something that y'all probably don't know is that this carrier was probably drilled, drilled and then drilled again by management. I can attest to the fact that long time carriers will not report a dog bite unless it's pretty bad. Personally I've been bit several times and only once was it reported and that time wasn't by me. Just today I got a nice little nip that brought blood, but not as bad as a couple of months ago when a little Boston Terrier buried his teeth in my hand. Another thing, no matter what a carrier wins in a law suit, they won't receive a red cent until the USPS gets the money that has been billed for the injuries first and that can take months, if not years. I have a friend that was mauled by a shepherd and won a $50,000 award. It took him almost seven years before any money was given to him even though the homeowners insurance paid it quickly.

Lastly, and this is something that was the subject of today's talk by management, the USPS has the authority to restrict mail delivery when safety is a concern, especially by dogs. On walking loops, a whole block can have their mail stopped because of one loose dog. I've done that before when a really bad shepherd attacked my jeep and began biting the tires when I stopped. I just put the jeep in gear and went to the next park point. That dog was nasty!
 

My parents have always had dobermans, now we have a pit/chow/lab mix. The only one we had issues with, was the dobbie that was police trained in LA. UPS actually gives treats to the dogs. As they say, it's not the dogs fault, it's who trained them. As if the name doesn't tell the story, there's a reason Bowzer has a 15 foot steel chain that goes to a stud in the concrete driveway. It was attached the house originally, till a small dog went by on their daily outing...and he's tried yanking that anchor stud out, think he'd learn, with a choker collar and all....
 
Thanks for the different point of view, buckaroo. I just wonder why she didn't use one of those little notes I always get saying come pick it up at the post office.

I was thinking there may be more to this. I was wondering how she opened the gate. I doubt Mayfield has one of those little flip up to open gate latches. Could it be that Mayfield buzzed her in and failed to put the dogs away because he expected her to sit in the vehicle and wait for him to come out?
