They have to maintain a climate that keeps all the computers and other electronics happy. It's not their fault that they have to work in it.

I looked at where these ducks where headed and noticed a small pond with a grassy area across this 4 lane highway. As I waited for a break in traffic, a motorcycle cop pulled up with his flashers. I tipped the tote to show him what was inside.

He immediately stopped all traffic and allowed me to run across the highway and deposit them near the pond. I did and ran back to my PC. The cop gave me a nod like to say "well done".

As, I was heading back to the center (hours later) I happened to take an elevated highway that looks over this pond and green space. To my surprise all traffic was again stopped and this mother duck was leading her troops across the same highway.

All I could say was......stupid ducks!
You took em to the wrong side of the road.

I say we should only use USPS totes, heck they are subsidized off our tax dollar anyways. At least we would get something in return for all of our tax dollars being used to compete against us. As far as forever bags, they are a lot better then the plastic smalls bags they forced us to use. Remember "smaller then your diad, then its a small".

I haven't heard that quote for smalls. I've heard, "If it can fit through a coat hanger and is 8 lbs or under its a small." Here at my center its "if you can fit 3 in a bag and they are 10 lbs or under its a small"
