Yea verily, what comes around...

...truly does go around.

In this case, please refer first to this recent post of mine.

Now, yesterday evening I stepped out of my condo and found on the ground just outside the door a packet of Avon sales materials. And I'm certain the name of the sales rep that is shown on the materials is the same person whom the shipment that came to me should have gone to in the first place.

That gave me a good laugh!

That was quick, or, good work, oh city

I've been noticing for a several days that a traffic light on my usual route to my workplace has not been displaying the red. It's a redundant light, so I haven't been real worried about it. (There's another one just a few feet away that points in the same direction.)

But this morning I decided it was time to report it to San Diego's Street Division via the City's web site. (This page links to ways to report problems on city streets; I've used it before to report pot holes.) So, I sent that in shortly after getting to my job.

Just a few minutes ago while I was out for an exercise walk, I went past the intersection this traffic light is at. I looked at it, and whoa! The red was displaying. That startled me, but I must assume reports of problems with traffic lights are treated as high priorities.

Seen on I-15 today on a Ford Explorer, on the way home from work: "HAS LEGS."

Which of course leads to the question: What has legs?

UPS Follies

So, I come home from work today and see four boxes at my door.

• Which baffled me because I am expecting a delivery, but not before tomorrow, and it definitely won't run to four boxes.

I got closer and saw the boxes were labeled "AVON".

• Which further baffled me because I (trust me) have never and will never use Avon products.

Then I looked at the address label on the top box.

• Some genius of a UPS driver had left me boxes which should have gone to the same condo unit number across the street.

Sheesh.

From what I could make out from the boxes, they were all Avon sales materials. And they were all not heavy, so I just carried them across the street and left them at the proper door.

When parking at a curb...

...please try to get within hailing distance of the curb. Thank you.
