Had a gent in our little town who had an Enco (Exxon) station decades ago. He put a mailbox at the curb on Main Street, but atop a 15’ pipe about 2” diameter. In big block letters on the box was “Air Mail”!

Random thought the other day.
I overheard a comment: 'something' was a drag... so various thoughts fired off - all the many variations & uses of the word “drag”. From dragging ass; the song lyrics "dragging a line"; drag queen ; taking a drag; waiting is such a drag; & so on... not as frequently heard now as it was, granted, but it's still in use.

Reminds me of the country music song “Back when” about how common words changed their meaning.
