Truth

I was going through my list of blogs I watch and read on a regular basis and found this:
Both Chris (Always Standing) and C. Beth (One Minute Writer) posted similarly titled blog entries the other day. It almost seems (at first glance) like a post on One Minute Writer and then a rebuttle post of Always Standing.

Garden 2010 Part III

I spent a little while out in the backyard this past weekend getting to know this year’s tulips (I realize they are the same tulips bulbs as last year and are therefore the same colours in the same spots, but the quality of each is a little different). This is the latest photo of my backyard tulips. Other than the fact that there is little grass in the backyard, and there are giant thistle-y weeds present (I have to get some gloves before I can remove them), the backyard is once again a pleasant place.

Way Back Whenesday: Mr Rogers Neighbourhood

Mr. Rogers Neighbourhood was a children's television show that aired from February 19, 1968 to February 20, 1976 and then again from August 27, 1979 to August 31, 2001.
The show was simple and calm, unlike a lot of children's shows nowadays and always started with Fred Rogers coming into the home, taking off his outdoor sweater and putting on his indoor sweater. He would then remove his outdoor sneakers and put on indoor sneakers.

Ontario, CA

Despite Chris' direct order about the previous post, I checked on my packages in EBay again. Turns out one of them has an active UPS tracking number - so I of course checked that out and was a little confused by the results.

You see, the above image is a screenshot of the tracking info UPS provided to me and it appears my package started in US then went to Ontario and then back to LA. At first glance, I though it had come to Ontario (Canada) and then went back to LA - 'why would it do this?' I asked myself. I then realized that it went to Ontario, CA, US not Ontario, Canada. But you can see how I would get confused right?!

Waiting for EBay

I purchased a number of items from EBay last week and have recently been told that they have all shipped. I am now in waiting mode where I check EBay, the mailbox and tracking sites for the location of my items. Unfortunately this regular checking does not seem to be speeding any of them up. Anyone know how to make them go faster?
