The milkman, the paperboy, the evening TV?

I never expected this question.

Did I get delivered here?

If you want predictability, go to a movie.

Doggie ate my ows cream.

(It kind of pained me to type that, actually.)

I have predictably good service from USPS, UPS AND FedEx... always get everything delivered by 10:30AM of the day promised. Can't remember the last time any of them missed that target. Considering I'm in the Official Boondocks between SLO and Pismo, the predictable reliability surprises me.

Another predictable service? The garbage truck that empties the dumpster for the whole property every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by 9:00AM. I know that because I'm close enough to the dumpster to hear it. I never sleep in past 9 on MWF.

My postman is predictable. He delivers at 9.30am on weekdays and 7.15am on Saturdays (which is just great if he has to knock to give us a parcel).

What would we do, baby, without us?
