One of these was delivered by UPS. The other was delivered by FedEx. Can you guess which is which?

The one on the right is a deadly fire hazard with batteries
Hence why IT was thrown with such delicacy.

Couldn’t they just have stacked them?

You don't touch the enemy

No, that's advanced delivery.

I mean, they delivered it here. Nicely placing it was obviously too much to ask...

Depending upon the show and the network, commercial time has grown over the years. I've found that when I've DVR'd a 2-hour show and watched it afterwards, often I can knock off (up to) 30 minutes of commercials by fast forwarding through them. That's how bad it is now (again, depending upon individual show/network).

Crazy thing is, the movie had been blocked out for a 3-hour time slot on SYFY, even though the original movie only has a 2 hour and 9 minute run time…that’s 51 minutes left over for commercials, not including any scenes/portions of scenes they may have edited out.
Just nutso…!!!!!

Around here, 90% of the packages are thrown up to the porch (it's just 3 steps up from the sidewalk). I think part of the reason is that the delivery guys take a photo of the package, in view of the street number, to protect them -- in case a customer said a package wasn't delivered.

Problem for us and the people on the other side of the building, is that we're so close to the street, that it would take about 2 seconds for an porch pirates to grab a box and run. That issue could easily be avoided, if the delivery guys would just push the box aside about 3--4 feet, behind a railing, on the porch. But that would take a few seconds extra time -- they're just concerned with unloading packages in as quick a time period as possible.

AAA sends out random articles about travel, restaurants, etc. This morning. I was reading about some of the higher end restaurants at WDW. One of them, Monsieur Paul, is located above Chefs de France. It's a prix fixe at $195/pp, and it includes: two cocktails, an hors d’oeuvre, fish course, palate cleanser of sorbet and brandy, meat course, cheese course and dessert. Granted, I usually don't keep up with TS restaurants on property, but somehow I don't think I've even heard about this particular one. Anyone else familiar with it?

Of course. I should have just asked you directly.

Oui. It was a one and done for me. The food and service was excellent but not a place to go with kids. I thought Chefs and Les Hailles were more relaxed and the food a less heavy

Never been there, but back during the period of social distancing, Chefs was using their space. It's a nice space up there. But the menu at Chefs (which is probably my favorite restaurant at WDW) appeals to me more. I'll occasionally shell out for a meal, but $195 is pushing it, especially for a menu that I'm not thrilled with.

Once upon a time the prices were reasonable, before the days of ADR wars
