Hajj update

Well, FedEx tracking put the box in town and on the delivery truck this morning. However, being a natural-born pain-in-the-ass, I have asked their website to email me on "exceptions". Which they did.

"FedEx attempted, but was unable to complete delivery of the following shipment:"

And under "Reason Delivery Not Completed"

"1. No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day."

Hey, we didn't get _that_ much snow. And I took enough logic in college to suspect some kind of conflict between those two quoted statements. Good thing I didn't need those books for a reading at the local library or something.

More public ridicule. I have noticed FedEx trucks marked FedEx Express. Redundant much?

Thus do I waste your bandwidth, O LiveJournal Friends.

Maybe the FedEx truck hit a moose or something. (I, too, have noticed that "express delivery" to the more northerly parts of New England . . . sometimes isn't.)

A moose would be possible. We've had one in our back yard.

Got another "exception" email after I posted that, in which they pled "local weather" -- we had a grand total of about 3" of snow, and live about four miles from their terminal. If that stops FedEx, they must be prepared to shut down for six months at a stretch...
