Just to be upfront, I prefer ordering books from Barnes
& Noble. But I have to admit, the Amazon lockers can be a lifesaver. Here in
the Seattle area, we have a bad case of the porch pirates: Scummy people who steal
delivery boxes right off a person’s front porch. They’re just looking for
electronics or other valuables. If it turns out to be a book or DVD, these creeps
probably just toss it. With Amazon lockers nearby I can go there, put in a code
I was sent, and access my package.
Before that, three deliveries were stolen from my doorstep.
One was a DVD that isn’t being made anymore. Water, starring Michael
Caine, was one of the funniest movies ever made.
Sure, I can buy the horribly expensive copies left on Amazon,
or some cheaper version that will only play on a German DVD player.
A book I lost that really irks me is And the Beagles and
the Bunnies Shall Lie Down Together. This was a collection of all the Peanuts
comic strips that quoted the Bible.
Wait. I saw just now I can get it again on Amazon for not
too big of a price. See ya.
