Thank you. Called them again and had a pretty good argument, which lead to the statement that they would have nobody that's the main responsible one for the delivery of packages or the postboxes. And there wouldn't be a phone-number for the delivery service in my town.
I told her that this must be false, this is not how a business works. Well, i was given her boss then and he shared my opinion and promised to inquire by calling the guys in my town. But I tell you, I'm not confident that it works. They blame the sender btw

All Rafa’s fault. I already thought so
No seriously, you have a picture of the package he sent and the address was clearly visible and my package also arrived. At least this time you had the chance to talk to a “boss”. I’m still crossing my fingers for you that it works out! -
Thank you. Yeah, whatever boss that was. They still don't direct you to the one that's really resposible, all are sitting miles away and just tell you what you can see online yourself. But the whole point of tracking is whack if you can't see who is handling your package and where it is. Again, UPS is so much better.

Winter starts in ten days. Minneapolis got the memo a bit early. The windchill is under -20F and I could swear I got frostbite on my hand filling my car this morning.
Temperatures in Celsius for the internationals…

Holy cow! I'm going to stop complaign about the cold here. It's definitely the coldest December I can remember though.

Yeah I saw Denver had weirdly low temps recently so I'm assuming a lot of us are suffering.
I have managed not to bust out the down yet. I have a killer Marmot that's reminiscent of a Canada Goode style minus the coyote fur but it's not as cool as a deck or a shearling (today's choice). If we start hitting negative double digits I will look like this:

I got some schmutz on the seat of my beetle busters last night. Irritating. The worst part is not knowing what it is.

So I've been trying to buy goods not made in countries such as China, Vietnam, Cambodia,… I bought some Everlane t-shirts and in short: they're shite... I've bought some Flint & Tinder (I initially wrote Flint & Tender but that sounded so much like a gay softcore vid that I quickly checked the name) tees, they're coming in tomorrow.
Because I needed new tees STAT and because I can't spend 50 € on fancy Jap made ones, I bought a three-pack of Hanes beefy tees... They're fucking EXCELLENT.. I can buy 'm for 5 $ a piece... But they're made in Cambodia
Point is though: why would I spend 25 $ on a US made tee if it's not good quality, and not even half a decent fit???
Currently looking at buying a Hanes beefy sweatshirt... For 20 €... No doubt would I prefer buying a Strike Gold or Jelado one, but it's just not possible on my budget...

These aren't bad for the price.

Those Hanes sweats are pretty good to be honest Eli, they will do the job that you need them for but they won't make you feel like a special little soldier. It's all in our heads dude, but what a wonderful place to live.
