I’m really annoyed with two out of our three primary delivery services when it comes to packages. This is up from the one delivery service I’ve had a problem with since moving to New Mexico. Back then, I had more options, but absent Airborne Express, DHL, and some niche carriers, I’m now left with the big three: FedEx (Federal Express), UPS (United Parcel Service), and the USPS (United States Postal Service). The two carriers that don’t happen to have FedEx as their name irk me more often than not.

My recent entry: President Obama, Give Us a Yard and We’ll Take a Meter has generated a fair amount of email (thank you, by the way). Among the comments were concerns about various aspects of doing the conversion, specifically about all that math to go from one system to another. Then there were comments about the realities of conversion. Let me try to address both of those items.
