When the above dog says "Woof!" he really means it - unlike Amazon's 2-day delivery pledge for Prime members. But first, I'll talk about friendship....

About a month ago, I last saw my friend CCS from the census. Both of us were in good moods when we met at the local pizzeria, and had our choices of where to sit when we got there. We were chatting so much, that I had no time to think of what I wanted to order. (She is a vegetarian, so her limits made it easy for her to quickly know what she wanted.) So, I ended up ordering an old standby, lasagna, even though I knew it was too heavy for a late summer's day. We caught up on things such as our cruises, politics, and where we are vacationing next. But all too soon, it was time to go, and we scheduled out next lunch for late September.
Once I left the pizzeria, I dropped off my leftovers at home, then took a short drive just to see some sunlight. before going back home for a few hours to wait for game night. Around 6 pm, I noticed a message: Our hostess was sick, and game night was cancelled for tonight. In a way, this was just as well. It gave me some time to straighten up the mess in my apartment.

But back to Amazon....
The above items were originally ordered on August 25th, with delivery scheduled for August 26th. (I didn't care about next day delivery, but Amazon said they would deliver these items a day early.) They didn't come on the 26th. They didn't come on the 27th. They were only noted as being late in transit, although they were reported as having reached the Hawthorne, NY carrier facility. And this status remained well into the 28th.
At the time I'm writing this entry, I don't think I will receive these items today, the 28th. So, I prepared a new order, being ready to cancel the first order at 11 pm and issue a new order at that time. I'll add a postscript to this entry if things change....
PS: I cancelled the order at 10 pm. I'll reorder things over the weekend.
