Update:<\/strong> I just found out that despite Amazon’s email notifying me that my glasses “shipped” on the 8th, they didn’t actually make it to the post office until today. I suspect they were packaged on the 8th and not picked up by USPS until today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ups and downs of the week. \u00c2\u00a0Apple iMac – We bought 5 of them (24″) at the office.

<\/a><\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Red Sox -\u00c2\u00a0They swept the Twins while the Yankmees were sweeping the Rays to gain back 3 games, but when they had a chance tonight to gain another game and pull to within a half game, they suddenly forgot how to hit. Or maybe they used up all their offense in Wednesday’s 23 hit rout.<\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Noise at the office\u00c2\u00a0-\u00c2\u00a0This week they were jackhammering the back stairs, demolishing the old library area, and cutting\/scraping up the concrete road surface out in front of the building. At times you couldn’t hear yourself think.<\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0Yet another 3-day weekend\u00c2\u00a0– Well, sort of. Monday is the Susan G.\u00c2\u00a0Komen foundation BMW\u00c2\u00a0Ultimate Test Drive<\/a> at Isringhausen Imports in Springfield. I’m scheduled to drive a very nice Alpina B7 <\/a>and a Z4<\/a>. In the past, they’ve had enough free time slots available\u00c2\u00a0to allow you to drive anything you want, so I’m also looking forward to driving a new M3 and maybe a 135i.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\u00c2\u00a0 Amazon’s “Free” Shipping – You don’t pay extra for it, so in the strictest sense of the word it’s free, but if time is money, their free shipping is plenty expensive. I ordered a pair of sunglass last Friday and they supposedly shipped on Tuesday from a town in MO that is only 110 miles from my house. I still haven’t received them. Amazon claims they’ll arrive on Monday. So almost a week to travel 110 miles. Next time I’ll pay the extra 2 or 3 bucks, but I suppose that’s exactly why they make the free shipping so painfully slow in the first place.<\/p>\n
