Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I don't think it matters much who the carrier is; I dropped off two Amazon returns at the UPS store on May 26. Nine days later one shows as delivered, the other still shows as in transit.
I ordered a gift for my wife via overnight FedEx; it was to be delivered Christmas Eve. Had it shipped to the office because I knew she'd know what it was, and specifically went in that day just to get the package. Around 10:00 or so I tracked it and FedEx said "delivery attempted, business closed". NOT TRUE! They did not attempt, and we were not closed. I had to go to the airport and retrieve it, and if you don't think THAT was fun...! I will say some very nice FedEx employees helped me find it.

I was having my Dickson 28 gauge returned to me from some work Jack Rowe did on it. This was back when I was still working in the Provost's Office at the University. The UPS guy, knowing I was at work and not at home, delivered the gun to my office. My assistant at the time was a retired Army colonel and he knew exactly what was in the package...and that it violated University and Board policies. Fortunately, he could keep his mouth shut. I was able to sneak the box out unobserved. Life in a small town(!), where the UPS guy knows you...where you live and work. This was back in the early 2000s. I can only imagine the demonstrations the same thing would inspire in my faculty colleagues today. Try being a gun owner and hunter in a university of "open minded" PhDs.
