I have joined the ranks of home delivery – groceries and other household items. And of course there is ordering online and then the postman or a private delivery service leaves the item at your door. Oh joy. Years ago my mother had groceries delivered to our home. The milkman and the iceman came regularly, and the knife sharpener. And of course the U.S. Postal Service has a long history going back to the 1800’s.
So my great recent discovery of the present day version of the convenience of home delivery shouldn’t come as such a surprise.
