Rant on shipping

I placed an order with Cabelas Saturday AM. Monday the confirmation said it would be here tomorrow. It was delivered yesterday. I guess I can’t complain about THAT!

Something is goofy at my local UPS hub. This is about the fifth time something like this has happened.

Package was scanned in there early Tuesday morning. It's Surepost, so it will go to the local Post Office. In the past, it would have gone out Tuesday, been dropped at the PO Tuesday and been delivered to my mailbox today.

It sat there all day yesterday and isn't scheduled to go out of the hub to the PO until tomorrow which means I'll get it Friday. I don't understand why it travels across country in less than a day, then takes 3-4 days locally.


Other recent packages I posted about previously would arrive at the hub early Friday, but not move until Tuesday.

SurePost is not a priority, If the package was a priority you would have used UPS Next day. You, or the vendor (indirectly you) save money using the SurePost. Because it is kind of like flying standby.. Works great except when things are busy, and you get to spend Thanksgiving Weekend in three different airports, and still not actually make it home.

Email would be good...

I have 5 Email accounts now & more are really easy to get.

I only have 3 so you would be able to vote twice more than I could.

Definitely. We need a SECURE unhackable way to vote by email. Stop this requiring physical presence at a voting booth.

When I wrote SECURE unhackable I meant something with the security better than your online banking and limited to one vote per qualified person. Like registering your retinas and using them for ID.

We cant even get photo id's through most states to vote so how could we possibly get retina id's?

Really - not even a photo on your drivers license?

Let's not get too political but...

Really, we had to show id's in NH when it was passed 6 years ago but it was challenged and struck down. I know that MA and RI also don't have to show a photo id to vote.

Apparently in your location some people need help to vote so somebody else has to vote for them.

I'm not sure how many I have. 3 that I can think of, but I may also have a GMail account which I can't even remember how to access.

I think I have nine different emails, and could get five more from the current ISP for $10/month.
