Going through a lot of old newspaper clippings and remembering what life used to be like.  Below is a facsimile of the type of letter I used to get in the Mayor's office....this one is recreated from memory but, with the exception of the actual subject matter which has been sanitized, it's typical of the correspondence I used to receive.

To Hizzhoner the mayer,

Congratulations on doing the worst job ever!!!!

It took me two hours to shovel the snow out of my driveway and then you sent your snowplows out and plowed me back in.  I almost broke my back shoveling out all the damned snow you dump on me.  You got no respect for the people who pay your paycheck. I hope they vote your sorry ass out.  God Bless America!

A Citizen.

Yes. The letters were usually hand-written and usually ending in some pseudo-patriotic epitaph....my favorite was "This USED to be America!"
