This eversource bill isn’t worth the walk to the mailbox

With winter coming, I offer a word of advice to all your readers who live outside of Waterbury and have to walk to the street to pick up their mail every day, especially seniors, persons with medical impairments, and persons who do not wish to go outside in rain or snow or cold, or want to avoid falls on icy driveways. The U.S.

Postal Service (usps.com) offers “Informed Delivery” free of charge. Each morning, between 7 a.



m. and 8 a.m.

, I receive an email showing every piece of mail they will deliver that day. If it is junk mail or nothing urgent, I simply don’t pick up my mail that day unless I leave the house for other reasons. For example, today I am going to receive one piece of junk mail, and a monthly bill from Eversource.

It isn’t worth going outside for that. Frederick Townsend Wolcott.
