UPS did this first with my radio equipment for the 944—left it outside, across the street and over one building. SMH!

Now FedEx did the same. The weirdest part is that the building they leave it at is _4 and I'm _1. Same mistake, two carriers. Across the street at _0 or down at _10 I might understand, but _4?!

Maybe FedEx hired the UPS guy who doesn't understand them fancy book learnin' numberals.

I finally left the guy at _4 a note today to call me if he's gotten anything else that's for me.

Either way, if you got me for Secret Senna, check your tracking and complain to the relevant carrier if it's saying "delivered." Ugh.

Fully into "glom of nit" and B.S. Johnson sorting machine levels of incompetence, are they?

You read Terry Pratchett? As if driving a Porsche in lemons wasn't cool enough.

Hey now, he only tried to make PI a bit tidier.. 3 is such a nice round number, that 3 and a bit malarky is for tossers and vagabonds.

This is why we need drones. Drones went to college.

Oh yes, I just ordered Raising Steam and Where's my cow, and the world of poo arrived the other day :)

If you haven't read the science of discworld series yet, I HIGHLY recommend them.

Man, I haven't had time to read stuff in a long time.

I need to fix this.

Well, that's the benefit of not sleeping ;)

Anyway, it turns out opponauts are even cooler than I thought. Yeah, we all love cars, some of us are car nerds. But it seems there's a lot of "nerds" in general here, beer nerds, whisky nerds, book nerds, music nerds, movie nerds.. I love it.

Recommended for the Pratchett reference.

I saw him pottering about in Bath once, driving a little Morris Minor.

Made my day :)

I saw 'steam but its at $33! That's for the eBook! His Long Earth is good too. They just came out with the second one in that series as well.

Umm, I sent it USPS...

Hmm—maybe that'll work, then. USPS seems to be pretty cool.

_4 actually messaged me back and said they've had to redeliver another package recently over to my place. FedEx said they'd give the driver a good chewin' out. So, I guess all is well. (Hopefully!)

Okay! Let me know when you get it, because there's a video that LiveDeliberatelyChic1 and I put together that goes with it.
