JAFFA, ISRAEL -- JANUARY 27, 2024: Angelina Shakkour, 16, left, and Adar Hirak Asaf, 16, right, visit the beach on a stormy day in Jaffa, Israel, Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024. The teens are 16-year-old girls both friends living in Israel, but unlike a lot of friends, the teens come from opposite sides of one of the worldOs most entrenched political conflicts. Angelina lives in Israel but is a Christian Palestinian. Adar is Jewish. For a long time, it didnOt seem to matter that they didnOt always see eye to eye on politics. Then came the brutal Hamas attack on southern Israel, and IsraelOs months-long retaliatory siege of the Gaza Strip. As the war deepened, they watched as other friends became more entrenched in their views, and as the gap between Palestinians and their Jewish Israeli neighbors dangerously widened. Both admit they sometimes hid their friendship from family members or others who might judge them. Thanks to the unique program that had brought them together in the first place, Angelina and Adar were unusually skilled at navigating differences of opinion. But as the war tore seemingly everything around them apart, a question hovered: Could their friendship survive intact? (MARCUS YAM / LOS ANGELES TIMES)

CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, CA - JANUARY 12, 2024 - - Hans Lehmann, 91, collects his mail from his post office box at the post office in downtown Carmel-By-The-Sea on January 12, 2024. Because there are no street addresses in the city, Lehmann, who has lived in Carmel since 1939, has to pick up his mail from his post office box. He finds the post office a good place to meet friends, enjoy a conversation and embrace the strong sense of community on his daily trips. Carmel-By-The-Sea has never had street addresses - except the post office - and does not have at-home postal delivery. The town is now debating about getting addresses because it's hard to get packages, and Medicare coverage, when you don't have a physical address. More places don't accept PO Boxes.
