Amazon.com, not the Amazon. 🙂
I needed to order a couple of connectors to finish streamlining my DSL and phone cords, and some of them were supposed to arrive yesterday. So I was happy to receive the email saying they were here.
But when I went to the door…nothing. I checked the picture the delivery person took, and it was a good one.
It not only showed the three packages and our doormat, it showed our apartment number. Amazon had done its part.
So why weren’t the packages there? There was a slight breeze so I looked the length of the porch to see if they had blown down to the other end. No, but when I looked over the railing two of them were on the ground below me. I walked (downwind) to the end of the apartments looking for the third one but didn’t see it until I was on my way back. It had somehow blown to the side of our apartment. I didn’t take the picture until later, but the package was in the shadow, about halfway the width of the building.
So mystery solved. As I’ve said before, we don’t have to leave home to have an adventure. (It pays to have a simple mind?)
