My life flashed before me!

​

So I'm out early this morning delivering to a rural part of Riverside county CA..... I'm on this really dark street and going through my packages. I keep hearing some slight rusling of rocks on this gravel road but thought nothing of it. I then close my next door and there standing in front of me is a pure black wolf dog. I about soiled myself, and I ain't gonna lie.....2 drops of pee came out. I stayed calm and reached into my pocket and handed him a milk bone which he took. His demeaner then changed and he became friendly. I'm so glad because he could of easily hurt very bad if he wanted. The moral of the story: Stay calm and carry dog treats on you route.

Warned Amazon repeatedly..

I have been submitting feedback, including videos and photos, regarding the unsafe delivery conditions in Morongo Valley, CA. These conditions are associated with deliveries originating from the PSP1 facility in Beaumont, CA. A significant portion of this area consists of dirt roads that are not maintained by the county. Last year, I became stuck in the mud at that location following a severe thunderstorm. Yesterday marked a new low point, as my car sustained damage to the front, and my front license plate was torn off. I have included a video of just one of the roads I had to drive down to do a delivery. I have formally requested that Amazon install a delivery locker within the town for package deliveries. Additionally, I have been penalized for returning packages that I considered unsafe to deliver, yet these concerns have not been addressed.

Acurite alternatives

Thinking about replacing my Atlas (which I love) with a new Tempest T26 which is solid state with no moving parts. Thoughts?

Can I pet that dog?

Was on one of my last stops delivering in the San Bernardino forest of southern California and I came around a blind bend and saw this guy crossing the road. Needless to say I made sure he was no where near my last delivery. I saw a ranger and let him know. Said he was probably just foraging and nothing to worry about as they are very common in the Oak Glen area. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Unrefutable Proof Amazon lies

So here you go. There so called "weather" department doesn't exist. 3.5 hour block to the low desert of southern California on the hottest day of the year with extreme heat warnings. 40 minute drive to the first stop with 53 packages and 50 stops.

Riddle me this..m

Excuse me if this has been asked before but I have a question about the new acurite system. I bought me an Atlas when it first came out any I take have enjoyed it. I recently purchased a new monitor for it. Can you confirm if my current stats will be published on Weather Underground moving forward, or if there are any associated fees? I would appreciate clarification on this matter.

Thanks

Visual Question

I have an Xbox series x running on a new OLED 65 inch TV and it's gorgeous. I just also bought myself an HP Omen with a 5080 Rtx card running on an ultra wide 42 inch curved monitor for my 55th birthday (og gamers unite) Now performance wise there is no comparison as my HP is beast mode. My question is which "do you think" would look better visually? Or am I just basically splitting hairs?

Thanks

How hard is it Amazon?

How hard is it to write a email script to filter by region and then email those drivers that the warehouse you pick up from is closed for the holiday? You would think a billion dollar company could. So many drivers arriving at warehouses early this morning July 5th where all doors were closed and not an employee in site. The unprofessionalism of this company sometimes is off the chain. This should be a lesson to those that think Amazon values its flex drivers.

How about.........NO?

Had this little jewel this morning for a 3 hour block lol. The sad part is I really really wanted to deliver that package but after searching my entire car it could not be found.

Worst day in 10 years doing FLEX

Enough time has passed I wanted to talk about something that tore me apart. Last week I was doing an early morning route in a rural part of Riverside CA. I came around a corner and notice 2 animals fighting. My first reaction was 2 feral dogs As I got closer I became horrified. It was a keyote with a cat in its mouth. It looked at me and then dropped the cat. To my dismay the cat was still alive but hurt. It then crawled under my car. The perfect storm for someone that adores animals. I chased the keyote off and was able to get the cat. It had no collar so it was feral. I was able to take it and place him inside a disabled cars engine department. I couldn't do anything more due to how early it was. I truly do not wish this on someone experienceing. Me...a grown ass 55 year old grumpy guy was in tears the rest of my route.
