Re: UPS--Positive Feedback :)

["Kirsten Price" <splash@dakotacom.net>]

When I lived by myself in a very rural area, my UPS driver used to make a
point of swinging by every now and then to check on me, even if there wasn't
a delivery!

He would also deliver packages directly to me instead of just at the house.
Because he always stopped at the gas station, he'd just ask where people
were and would deliver where ever that was.
