Ben by Daniel Shelton for October 21, 2020

Ben is enjoying the anticipation, so why be a wet rag about it?

I really like the UPS “Follow my delivery” feature. Helps to get the dogs inside before he arrives.

And then watch him turn left at the intersection, instead of right…

Tracking really is a neat feature and it does let the sender know it arrived.

Got my Chewy dog food delivered the next day!

Sometimes GPS takes them to the wrong house clear across town.

We all need to help get packages to right person these days because all these delivery services, including P.O. are overloaded with everyone ordering on line these days. Yea, we all need to be good neighbors like you!

When it’s that detailed, it is getting out of hand.

One of them shows a map, showing where the truck is.

I once spent a week on the East Coast, waiting for an “overnight” delivery of a complex electronics assembly from my West Coast office. It arrived Friday, just as I had to leave for the flight back.

If only it were that accurate. I live in an apartment building. A couple of items my son shipped to me have gone ‘missing. The company claims they were delivered. They leave them in the lobby or outside the door. They’re not supposed to do that but they do. Many people have had things stolen.

My wife does this when she orders anything.

Question – since Ben and family live in Canada, where is it coming from if it went through customs before it went through Boise,Idaho? Did it double back from Canada to US and then into Canada again? Is there a Boise in Canada? Did it go from another country through US customs, then to Boise, ID and then up to Canada?
