How UPS 2nd Day Air Turned into 10 Day 'Air'

(Cue: This land is your land, this land is my land, from California, to the New York Island…)

I recently ordered some sample components from Qosina.com.  I asked for them to send it 2nd Day Delivery.  Well, my package came today, worn and weary from its travels.  Below is the wonderful, heart rending story of package 1Z1945190273980113 .

I especially like how it was only miles away in Palatine when it got shipped off to Oakland.  I assume the sorting “exception” in Oakland was the system saying “WT?”.

According to Mapquest this route could’ve been driven in 85hrs 38 minutes.

I think it was…

First fish of the year after 'ice out'

Caught this 18" chubby channel cat on a daredevil with a bullet sinker. He
was barely hooked. When I finally got the pliers and got his lips open, I
just reached in and pulled out the treble hook. It wasn't really caught in
anything - he just clamped down on it and didn't want to let go.
