O.K., so today, the guy did the usual pausing the truck and leaning out the door to say something while Lucky yapped and ran up and down inside the fence, but today he lingered longer, leaning further and talking more and smiling more at Lucky before driving off.
He delivered mail here. This is important because then *this* happened: He did his usual route thing up the street then back on the other side of the street, and Lucky likewise waiting for the truck to come back. But then the truck stopped directly across the street, where there is no mailbox, dude got out and walked across the street back to our mailbox with Lucky at the gate yapping and jumping. He had an envelop in his hand to deliver here.
*** Oh, yeah, I'm SURE that he "forgot" a piece.
Like, nobody could see through that EXCUSE for coming back and full body interact with Lucky. The *BIG SMILE* ear to ear made the whole performance OBVIOUS!1 Neither one of them appeared to care whether I went to retrieve the (junk) "mail".
*** Glad I'm not jealous.
