A few minutes ago somebody rang my doorbell. And I didn't answer it because I was here. Then there was knocking. I worried it was my elderly next door neighbor having some kind of issue. If I didn't answer - I'd feel guilty. As I went to the door through the window I could see it was an old couple I didn't know. Great. A few weeks ago the Mormons also did the shtick where they ring the doorbell and knocked too. I might put up a "no soliciting" sign. I really hate this shit.
When I opened the door there was a package right there. I really wondered what was up. It turned out they it that out of the rain and they were with the democratic party. After a few seconds I let them know I wasn't interested and I thanked them for moving my package. So far - no story.
Then I went out to my mailbox and there was a handwritten postcard in cursive with a stamp and a postmark and my address also handwritten.
Dear InevitableSwing,

I'm mystified how the postcard has a postmark. Maybe it's fake? The couple's efforts annoyed me and sort of creeped me out.

I meant one of these signs.

I just realized I was so freaked out - I missed a possible obvious solution to the postcard mystery. It was dumb luck. Maybe they sent it yesterday or two days ago. (1) I happened to get the postcard in the mail today. (2) They happened to show up after my mail was delivered and not before.
If the mail carrier didn't put those in your box, somebody committed a federal crime.
