Where is my Speedmaster 500?
In the USPS system...

Hopefully!
Crap......

It took over two weeks I believe to get my 426 from Oregon to Ohio via USPS. Cost cutting? Disgruntled employees?

All I know is UPS would have done it in 3 days - for the same money.

(Observation in haiku form):

Freight comes quickly now
unless you want it badly.
Hence, you are screwed. Fate.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Waiting for a box:
the daily disappointment
of a cruel spring day.

Where is Speedmaster?
Postal Service and not UPS?
Damn, expect it June.

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Waiting for Fedex
I yearn to build something great.
Winter chaps my butt.


Okay, I'm stopping now.

I must stop right now
before the haiku fairy
rots my mad cow brain.

I must stop right now
before the haiku fairy
rots my brain. Too late.

:disappointed: Okay, I give up....what is a "Speedmaster 500"? It must be cool to inspire everyone in to poetry...or something trying to resemble it. :oops:
