I thought my neighbor was nuts about the mail carrier tracking her, then I counted the trucks on my block
She swore the same carrier hit our street at 11:40 every single day for two years, and I laughed it off until I started writing down times for a week. Turns out it was 11:40 on four of the seven days, and I still do not know if that means anything or if we all just get mail at the same time. Does anyone actually know how the routes get assigned, because now I am the one keeping a notebook.

I laughed way too hard at this because I did the same exact thing last summer, except my notebook was a napkin that I lost by day three. My wife still makes fun of me for standing at the window like some kind of mail detective. From what I gathered, routes are split into sections called loops and each carrier gets assigned one, so the times stay pretty steady unless someone calls out sick or the truck breaks down. That would explain why your four out of seven days lined up so well, since the other three were probably days with a sub or a heavy load. Honestly the bigger shock here is that your neighbor was right and now we both need a hobby that is not spying on the postal service.
