    Oh, all the time, it's mandatory. Biggest bunch of crybabies I've ever seen. Terrified of the mainland, afraid they would get lost.

    My iPad is still flying in from China. This is why I reserved one at my local Apple store as well. Smart thinking pays off!

    Must be a tough drive from mainland China.



    (But seriously, folks. I'm here eight nights a week.)

    I imagine some researchers down south are going to have to wait a few days.

    Even if they did deliver it - the UPS deliveryman's arm would probably shatter knocking on the door.

    Or, be like me and print/sign that pre-sign document via the link on the Apple shipping notification, and paste it on your door 3 days ago.



    Fairly, these little boxes are going to be showing up all over, and I wonder if The Bad Guys will be out in force looking for them left on doorsteps. I gave "hiding" instructions to the driver. I figured it would be just my luck to have Mr. Brown show up while I was siting on the toilet or something. Or..um...well, you know what I mean.



    UPS needs a tracking app for iPad. At this point, I think that's like dividing by zero, and universe ending paradoxes would ensue. Or that's the implication at least.

    Palin is a killer gal. Cute too. She'd truss your turkey.



    I'd trade you Palin for my Marleen, her grills busted and headlight is out, but she cooks some good chitterlings.

    Mine left China at 2am CDT yesterday. (I have made the time conversion). I cannot determine where it is at the moment. UPS World services says that UPS does not deliver in Baldwin County AL (metro Mobile AL) on Saturdays. My UPS driver says they do.



    So... We'll see tomorrow.

Or perhaps it is because I ordered my iPad late...a couple of hours into first day of preorders. It will be really upsetting if it doesn't show up because i only get 4 days off work a month (tomorrow being one of them), and I have no idea when I will get time to go pick it up from UPS, or will be home again to sign for delivery....this sucks. I hope the UPS tracker is wrong.





    Yes.. I live in norman OK... Home of the Sooners... FEDEX delivers sat but Not UPS.. Why did apple choose saturday delivery! Seems just plan wrong!!!!!



    Oh well, what can you do....

    Welcome to the rural section, please don't pull the pigs tails and step on the chickens.



    The guy with the digitalclips t-shirt?



    He's what we call here the border folk, half rural, half something else we don't know quite yet, don't step on the other side of him and you'll be just fine.
