Now I have a picture of Jon dropping off a Christmas card at the *real* source PO box every year. Dan knows Jon's going to be there, so he clears out that day. Jon takes some comfort in the fact that the PO box isn't accumulating mail, so somebody's cleaning it out.

And they're both OK with the status quo.
