On the way to Utica, NY yesterday, I passed a huge Amazon building next to the Interstate. There were a couple of dozen trucks lined up waiting to be loaded for deliveries of Amazon products. Quite an operation. I'm sure UPS doesn't like that. My UPS deliveries have been coming very late - sometimes after 5:00 PM. I hope the guy who delivers at 6:00 PM isn't one of the guys who left the UPS building at 6:00 AM. I saw a big Amazon Prime truck making local deliveries the other day.

Any know of a "survey of youth" video, asking if they know what the REAL "Amazon" is? (Care to hazard a guess as to what some responses might be?)

Just for the fun of it, I just googled "amazon" and gave up at page 7 of the results on when the "real" Amazon would finally show up in my search.

Amazon in Greek means breastless. The first explorers of the Amazon River reported, erroneously, that female warriors cut off their right breasts so as not to interfere with bowstring.

We have a huge Amazon warehouse here in houston that must have at least 1000 delivery small vans in their lots. And another warehouse is under construction in league city, suburbs south of Houston

Here in St. Louis, Amazon delivers come as late as 10PM. Fun, huh?

.

To date I believe Amazon is only delivering their own packages. But watch out UPS and FedX, it won’t be long before they come after all the other delivery opportunities as well!

Remember, in the movie Aliens, they referred to "The Company". Soon there will be only one...

Easy! It's a female river running between Greece and Brazil with warrior women called Piranhas. Or something...
