Canada Post, How I Love Thee

[james_davis_nicoll]

An author very kindly sent me a copy of her book back in April or May. It never arrived. She sent another copy on June 16th, priority mail so it could be tracked. It just arrived.

Now it might seem unfair that I immediately assume the problem is on the Canadian side of the border but this is because experience tells me that every time someone posted a package that got delayed or went missing, it did it on the Canadian side of the border. This is because Canada Post sucks.

John Callahan could hand-deliver packages faster than Canada Post does and Helen Keller had better odds of reading the address correctly.

*giggle* I get the Keller reference, but who is John Callahan?

A proposed biographical movie, with Robin Williams in the title role, was in the planning stages in 2000 but was never produced.

I am hard pressed to think of an actor I am less interested in seeing play Callahan. Paris Hilton, maybe, and even there it's close.
