"Black Monday"

Since the invention of electronic mail, the physical letterbox in or in front of our homes has become the exclusive bearer of bad news - be it bills of all kinds, fines for speeding or missed tax payments, advertisements or announcements of club concerts. And if in earlier times the occasional handwritten letter or postcard from a vacation (even if it only contained the words "The weather is nice and the food is good - best wishes, Wolfi") brightened up the recipient's mood among all this bad news, anything handwritten and personal can no longer be found in today's letterboxes.
