Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Same thing happened to me last week.
Ordered a book and two CDs from Amazon.
Thought they would all come in one package.
Instead, one CD was delivered by UPS and left on my doorstep.
The book was delivered by the post office and left in my mailbox.
The second CD was left in an Amazon locker down the street from me, that I had to drive to and get a code from Amazon to open the locker
All on the same day.
WTF?!

Amazon gets stuff from different vendors. It's not all just piled in one humongous warehouse somewhere.

^that's correct. Amazon has over a thousand distribution centers. There's one just across the freeway from my house. Not everything I order is going to come from that facility.

My local watering hole across the street from the garage is holding an 80s themed event in a couple of weeks with the title, "Mrs. Roaper's Romper Room" and the 80s cover band Yatchtley Crew.​

That kind of sucks

Not sure if they still do this as I have never ordered multiple separate items but in they used to have an option for grouping all items into as fewer shipments as possible

That's what I thought I chose at checkout.
It had the the option of fewest packages or fastest delivery.

As said above, not every Amazon warehouse has everything. Only some of them have the big stuff like furniture and TVs. Not the best use of resources if every single Amazon warehouse has a copy of From Justin To Kelly on DVD.

The people who want us all to "think of the children" at the expense of artistic expression are the most likely to be thinking of those same children inappropriately.

I always wait until I need several items before placing an Amazon order. My next order will consist of bath towels, a laundry basket, earwax filters for my hearing aids, razor blades, and the stuff I use to darken my gray hair. I don't care how many packages it all comes in, as long as it gets delivered.

When dropping a slice of toast with butter on one side which side always hits the ground?

The buttered side.

It's been theorized that since cats always land in their feet, and bread always lands butter side down, a cat with buttered bread duct taped to it will, since it cannot land on either end, spin indefinitely in place, creating perpetual motion.

NASA discovered a tiny moon around Uranus, and I can't stop laughing about it.

It was a weird and very Star Trek dream that I had

There was more to the dream, but in the dream, a new species joined the Federation that was just a whole bunch of humanoid foxes. The funniest part is that they all had Australian accents and the species was called "Linguine" like the pasta, and that's where I got my name.

Also, Shrek was a Lieutenant.

For the first time since the show ended, the Dawson's Creek cast is getting together for a live reading to benefit cancer. James Van Der Beek has Stage 3 colorectal cancer.

Dang, that sucks.
