Brown's NOT in Town


So, my neighbors who moved were back in town this past weekend to finish up some stuff on their house. Among those tasks were signing some paperwork and packing it up in a UPS overnight envelope and dropping it into a UPS box. We headed out to downtown St. Paul for dinner with plans of dropping it in a box after we ate. One would think that we would have encountered several boxes to drop the package in. No such luck. We saw NONE, other than inside a building, on the streets of St. Paul. Instead of venturing back into the building we snuck into to avoid the wind and sudden 40 deg temperature, we decided to drive to our neighborhood UPS store assuming there would be a box there. NO SUCH LUCK. Is that crazy? Why was there no box at the UPS store??? We finally returned home without UPSing the envelope.

Yeah, what the hell was that all about?? How crazy is this: Even though I was in St. Paul, and the envelope only needed to get to Edina, there were NO boxes in St. Paul. I looked Sunday morning too. I had to drop the UPS envelope at a drop box at the WISCONSIN DELLS to get it out on time!! They are SO behind fedex and the USPS on their drop box situation. How the hell do you not have a drop box outside your own location on Suburban Ave? What if the post office didn't have mailboxes outside their facilities?
