| I thought DHL got out of the residential/individual customer game and is only doing B-to-B. That not true?

They hand off packages to USPS for last (250) mile delivery it would seem. |

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should
| DHL is a division of Deutche Post and makes the USPS look like geniuses.

They're the biggest. Economies of scale. Tribal knowledge. They have it down to a science. But they're still not good if they have to do a little more customer hand-holding or if something goes south with the shipment. etc.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. |

May rural "roads" here in AZ are dirt, as you know, and rather than build a bridge or culvert, they just let the wash cross the road. You can easily encounter a 50-100 ft wide "beach" of sand just to get where you are going. Easy to bog down, even in dry weather. |

| I got the mail today. I got a post card reminding me that the Indy guns how was last weekend....it had a coupon for 2$ off entry. It only took 12 days to get here from Ok. Thanks USPS. It was post marked the 9th of March and arrived the 21st. I guess I should be glad it got here the same year. Are they using horses again for the mail?
