No yard and, now that you mention it; I have not seen a mail box anywhere here. Not ever out in the country. We are moving next month and have requested that the realtor find us a place with either a yard or big balcony. Got a call from them that they have ?something? that we need to "jump on" tonight. I would like to see it first...I don't want to get stuck in a concrete canyon. We will find out more in a couple of hours..
