Uhh, am I missing something? I see no tragic little pooch anywhere in this image. What gives?

Oh wait a minute. Is that her in the sink?

Webby, please....
My nerves are not ready for Lola's images right now......nor ever.

Looks like the swine have taken the parcel back to their terminal.

Sorry about your package, PK... I'll refrain. I was just worried about TD - think he was having withdrawals or something.

I don't know about where you live, but after the delivery day is over here and the truck returns to the dock you can call UPS and arrange a pickup. We've then got about an hour and a half window where you can go directly to dock and pick it up.

Or you can wait and try again tomorrow. You could also call them and have them hold it so you could pick it up in the morning at the dock and then you're not at their mercy.

...not that I've ever been in a position to do any of these things, mind you.

Sorry your having a bad time with this.

I'll show brown what they can do!

Thanks for your concern. I feel so much better now!

Here's a common view for me....well, not always at sunrise

Those are good tips, however, a problem is that their service depot is quite a way from where I live. Besides, trying to pickup anything in the morning would inject me into Toronto's highway rush hour which I am loath to do.
So I'll just wait another day and hit them back in the only meaningful albeit little way by not giving them my business any more. So we'll try Fedex from now on, see how that goes.

OK, it's 9:06 p.m. here and no UPS yet.

Any nuclear engineers, physicists or material technologists in the audience ?
For them I shall say that I have just transitioned into a nucleate boiling state.........localised overheating and cracking appears imminent now.

The only thing for that is to cool the core with water, and it must circulate in order to be effective.

Yeah, but the incipient nucleate boiling is OK, it actually does not impair the heat transfer until the "bubbles" start to agglomerate ....then the undesireable fuel cladding dryout begins, at which point one has two fundamental options.....restore/ma​intain pressure and/or do ECI/RHR which is your water cooling.

Enough chit chat. On with the judging.
