Oh joy! Now the handy tracking page now tells me it will arrive “by end of day” (which is the same thing I was told the past two days after the delivery window was missed). I’m not going to hold my breath. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to download and install the #FedEx app? #fedexfail
Here are two (time-stamped) screenshots showing the driver’s location in my town - an hour and 20 minutes before the delivery window. But Matthew doesn’t appear to have moved in over an hour? Is this feature not updating properly — or is it all a smoke screen?
Today, when I went to check on my package I saw there was a new driver (was Duncan fired?), but today I have the option to check a delivery map! Oh, joy!
After not delivering on July 29—and missing the delivery window on day 2—I checked for an update (from the #FedEx web page via the tracking number) saying that my driver, Truman, would deliver between 9:45 - 11:45 pm! (Except that never happened).
Is anyone else having issues getting deliveries from #FedEx ( @fedex.bsky.social ?) that require a signature? I’m still waiting today (July 31) for a package that was supposed to have arrived on July 29!
Years ago I moved to a special funnel shaped plastic device that holds up to #6 cone filters and fits into the top of a thermos. I grind my coffee and use the filter holder for a pour over directly into my Zojirishi thermal “mug” and it stays hot for at least 4-6 hours!

Looks like I’ve helped train AI models. Where's my cut? Maybe these folks could just do UBI for all? I’d be ok with that. intheweights.com
I think this is a young pale green assassin bug in the process of taking out some kind of black wasp in the raspberry patch.

Interesting that when I started a reply to this post that I get this warning (shown below) that the post originated in Czech! Anyone else seeing the same?
With the cool spring and moderate rains, it looks like a potential bumper crop of wild black raspberries!
Only a wee bit of storm action from yesterday’s storm — lots of downed branches, including this one that impaled itself in our backyard — and nearly three inches of rain. #storm #droughtnomore #illinois #midwest
I’ve got one older black cat that has evaded TNR (so far). I’ve been feeding him for over three years, and the closest he will let me get is about 3 feet away. Any closer and he will hiss and bolt.
