So here’s the problem: [[Catherine]] and [[Oliver]] are away in [[Ontario]]. I’m expecting an eBay shipment via Canada Post Xpresspost sometime today. At home.

Followup: the package never arrived; Canada Post’s website last has it in Richmond, BC yesterday. It was sent Wednesday from Richmond, however, and their “delivery guarantee” says it should have been here by 5pm today. Sigh.

See, it’s more or less what I was worried about. These guys are pros. They saw the drop site was staked out and so they aborted.
