Until fairly recently, Christmastime meant LOTS of
deliveries by UPS and USPS. As I was the only one on my street at home during
the day, I was usually the one who’d sign for packages, while notes were posted
on recipients’ doors, telling them where to find them. Now, most deliveries come in Amazon Prime vans. No one EVER rings a doorbell. They drop parcels on the doorstep, snap a photo with their cell phones, and drive off. The other
night I was dog-walking and ended up in front of one of these vans. Fully half my
neighbors got Amazon deliveries that night, so even with my pooches investigating every lamp post and hydrant, we made better time than the van did. It ended up being extremely
convenient, as his headlights made my doggie bag duty super easy. I wonder if
there’s a way to deliberately walk the dogs just ahead of a delivery van again
tonight.
