After spending the majority of the past two days either fighting with or on hold with UPS, I've come to the conclusion that if I have a choice in the matter, I would not let them deliver a package across the street. And their hold music always starts at the same point, "midway" through a musical phrase, to make you think it's constantly flowing. It's not. And it repeats after approximately 41 seconds.

I did manage to spend a bunch of time nosing around DeadMalls.com while on hold, and I was entertained.

And I'm reading this lovely article on Salon, and the interviewee is saying a whole bunch of stuff about God and intelligent design that I've been saying for years. I still think Bill Maher's view on religion is closest to mine, though (well, without the openness to possibility that Maher states).
