Had a small package today that UPS indicates was delivered. Nope, not here. I doubt anyone walked off with it.
Went to UPS online to open a claim. Website indicates I need to call the 800 number to file a claim. I call the 800 # and the robot informs me to go online to file the claim. I pressed "0" and actually got a person. She is checking into it and told me she will call me back.
We shall see......

In other business. Address labels! You know the free ones you get after you donate to an organization once in 10 years. Whereas I pay almost all my bills on line, my outgoing mail is not all that plentiful. Outgoing mail is mostly birthday cards, etc. Just cleaned out my desk. Lots of address labels are being tossed. Wonder if that kind of paper is recyclable.

Address labels, holiday cards, calendars, stickers of all kinds - a week never goes by when I don't get something . . . often day after day. Price one pays for giving.

UPS never called me back. No surprises there. However, I do have my package. My neighbor around the corner rang my bell this AM. The package was delivered to his home. He also lives at "6". It's happened before.

I was expecting a package from fedex yesterday and kept waiting for the doorbell to ring. It never rang, however I have a recording of the fedex driver coming to my door (sans package) and placing a sticker saying I needed to call for a new delivery date. He never rang my doorbell, just pranced up with a sticker. Needless to say I was unhappy. I sent the video to fedex and called the local office and reported the video, his actions, etc. Supposedly the package is coming today. We'll see. My daughter has a video of a fedex driver tossing her delivery into her yard. She sent it to fedex too, but never heard back from them.

Your glasses are ready for pickup. That's good to know but how many times and ways does a business have to tell you that. Pet peeve. They sent an email telling us. They sent a text telling us. And they left a long message on our landline recorder in which they repeated everything twice.

That reminds me, I ordered a couple of "Beware of the bull" signs a few weeks ago and they still haven't arrived. At this rate the bull will be gone before the signs turn up. Always a good deterrent for would-be trespassers though.

you need a sign to go under the bull sign that says "BTW, the bull can't read!"

I've had several thoughts about adding things to it:
"The bull is 7mph faster than Usain Bolt. Hope you've done your warmups."
"Don't worry if you can't see the bull, he can see you."
"If you can't hear the bull you better already be running."
...etc
I swear he's an 1,800lb ninja sometimes. I'll start working near a fence line while he's in the middle of the next paddock, then turn around 10 seconds later and he's RIGHT THERE looking at me over the fence. I can almost hear him thinking "Dude I could have had you."

Matt at least you're not raising Bison Bison or the American buffalo.
They weight upwards of a ton, can run 40 mph and can casually jump a 6 foot fence,
It hard to imagine that there were once millions free roaming the plains of the US.
