Me, as an experienced online buyer, I’ve tracked a few UPS packages. I like to watch them be loaded and unloaded, scanned for departure, etc. However, my current shipment, a new video card from Bunta.com, has gone awry.
Upon checking the status of my shipment (click here to see it), I find there is an “exception”. Well, inquisitive as I am, I got to check it out.
Hmm… what is the status of my package…. ah.. it departed San Gabriel, California, at 3:11am, and it’s next stop was a WHAT?!? A TRAIN DERAILMENT! Holy Schnikes!
Apparently, the nearest UPS Ground Hub is through Flagstaff, Arizona, along I-40, which is where this train derailment happened (stories here and here, and directions between San Gabriel and Flagstaff here).
Well, so let my poor video card be in your prayers. Oh, and all of those injured in this horrible, fiery crash too… (that’s a joke, Eve) (Not that Eve has replied to the story, but I could just imagine her response — Benjamin!)

The picture from the Fox News story was pretty cool. I could just imagine your video card in the conflagration somewhere. BTW, the statue that is currently staring at me via your webcam is a little unnerving…

You know I would never endorse prayer.
