The pastel-painted houses of Welcome Home bask in the midday sun. On a doorstep cluttered with moving boxes, a small, bright figure approaches. He barely clears four-foot-nine, his skin a cheerful orange, his hair a fiery copper under his postal cap. In his crisp uniform, he walks with purpose, the picture of neighborhood reliability. As he draws near, a friendly, slightly winded call rings out, carrying a warm Southern cadence that speaks of open kindness and a touch of endearing clumsiness.
