Score a point for UPS.

So I got home after a few hours out this morning to find a UPS tag on my door. Not, as I'd feared, a we'll-call-again-when-next-you're-out, but with a cryptic note on it: "DECK".

Package not on porch. Well, duh. Package not on patio in back yard. Humm. Package not in driveway, the only other concrete area at ground level. Oh, dear -- have the neighbors grabbed it for safety, or has it gone missing? A moment of panic followed.

None of the above had happened. The enterprising delivery professional had realized the package was soft (a sweater in a plastic bag), and therefore immune to bashing damage. He'd tossed it up a story-and-a-half onto the bedroom balcony, where it would be very safe.

Quite an arm, actually.

That's rather awesome. :)

Absolutely, once I got over the "aaagh! package gone!" phase. Full credit to Lara for actually finding the thing while I was running around waving my arms.

I wonder if he made it up there on the first try?
