At least he doesn’t (probably) have a UPS store box like I’ve kept for years.

Amazon is just tough to beat on a lot of things.

Fedex will deliver there as well even though I’ve had more than one driver call me about being confused about the address when it was at a previous location a block from where it is now. Signage wasn’t that great.

Fedex is the other reason I keep it. Fedex runs generally in the morning when no one is here. The spouse has never had a problem with stuff on the doorstep. Me, however, keeps track of how things are going to hell and gets a cheap bit of security. It’s the address I put on most everything.

Today when I got home there were several city and county police cars buzzing the area. I went up to the mailbox and one pulls up and asks if I’ve seen two younger guys. I hadn’t seen a soul.

I get inside and my wife tells me that there were some broad daylight robberies in the neighborhood today.

No other news since.

re Amazon....I ordered Hershey chocolate kisses at a very competitive cost, and today they delivered it to my doorstep, wrapped in a box, with insulation all around it, with two ice bags inside...just to keep the chocolates from melting....and I paid nothing for the delivery since I'm a Prime member....

how can you beat that?....you can't...
