    I was just answering some email in the old computer room,which has a window that looks out to the mailbox and driveway.Today is the day,the UPS man should be here any minute.Then to my horror,the UPS truck drives by my house AND DID NOT STOP!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOO.These are times that try men's souls LOL.What do you think,should I get in my car and chase him down?

    Well I think you should get out the tire iron and you know what to do for not stopping.

    LOL. I know, my copy is in town, got here at 9AM local. Which means I missed the morning run and have to wait until 6-7PM. In the meantime, I just don't feel motivated to play one of my current campaigns, since they will change so much. Thought about getting online to play, but new server, new honor.....

    Anyway, dealing with intermittent thunderstorms today, so not a good option.

    I am seriously considering the Doragon's style of diplomacy.I payed for 2nd day air shipment and after checking the package tracker have found that my delivery has been rescheduled for 8/13!!!!!Looks like they are going to treat me like a European or Aussie
    I guess I'll have to cancel my order and go to the local Walmart to pick it up.What ever happened to the U.S.Mail motto,neither rain,nor snow,nor gloom of night shall stop us from our daily rounds....

    Well, just to put this in perspective for ya... the USPS just now delivered a postcard sent in 1909! I saw the story on CNN. So, perhaps your grandkids will get your copy of Warlords Edition? Better late than never, right?

    I went out to Walmart and picked up the MI.Then I mailed UPS and Amazon that they could take their copy and put it where the sun don't shine. They are of course blaming each other for the delay.Too bad they lose.

    I feel your pain! I've chased down UPS trucks in my car in similar situations. The drivers are shocked but invariably come across with the goods. It's probably because of the look of maniacal desperation in my eyes at the time.
