Re: Way OT - Fedex Ground

True, Bonnie, plus I know that many companies give drivers very
sketchy information about where they are supposed to go.  I can't
tell you how many totally lost truck drivers have stopped at our
place trying to figure out where they are and where they're supposed
to go.  Of course, I live on a street that splits and is joined by
two others bearing names with the same word in it as my street's
name...very confusing.
