"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

Saturday was the National Association of Letter Carriers' 26th annual Food Drive. The goal is to "Stamp Out Hunger" throughout the United States.

They unloaded many bags of non-perishables - pasta, rice, tuna, peanut butter, cereals, soups, vegetables, and more.

What is this guy running around the roof with in the rain? No idea!
I just happened to be holding my camera and looking outside for birds. Instead I saw him.
