Daring daylight robbery

Here’s a postcard from the sleepy little town of Oil City, Pennsylvania – but wait! In the lower right, you can clearly see three ex-convicts in drag preparing to rob the post office- doesn’t seem like that would be a lucrative target, but what do I know; the only thing I have stolen is my wife’s heart. The sender wrote, among other things;
“…Am working hard this summer. No joking, I am working 10 hrs. a day and most of the time with a pick and a shovel at that. It certainly does me good.”

He’s a better man than me, I would be whining like a loose fan belt if I had to use a pick and shovel for 10 hours a day, in the hot Pennsylvania August sun.

I have a shovel
And also swinging a pick
It's good for me! NOT
