So it's about 8:30 AM and I just got a calll from a robot!! Erm... well UPS had their computer call me and tell me that my overnight package was going to be delivered today. I didn't order anything, so I'm not positive I know what it is. The robot left me the tracking number, from which I can see that it weighs 25 pounds. This is almost certainly my PS3 from shopfreepay, though their order page still says that it's "processing" and shipment info will be added soon.

Unfortunately, the robot also told me that I had to be present to sign for it and that it is being driven up from Albuquerque (why not the UPS facility in Santa Fe, an hour closer? Must have something to do with being overnight). So my guess is that if I leave for mountaineering before it arrives, they'll drive it all the way back to ABQ and ask me to drive down there to get it, which I won't be able to do until... St. Swiven's Day.

SO... do I just wait here until it arrives? How long do I put off leaving for the mountains before I give up on them? I've got a three hour drive ahead of me and then a two hour hike before I can camp, and it gets dark at about 8. I'm not adverse to hiking/making camp in the dark... but the question is... are Minesh and Laura?

And the deeper question, can I really accept delivery of a PS3 and then just leave for the weekend and not mess around with it!?

I'm already packed, so I'm just hoping that the UPS guy shows up well before 1:40, when I was planning on leaving. He left Albuquerque at 8:21, but who knows how many other goodies he has to deliver before mine...
