Pelican V100 America 250 case is going on an adventure with Fedex

I ordered a Pelican V100 America 250 case. Figured it would be a fun one for a little project I want to do. They got my order on August 7. Was on a truck on August 10th. Delivery date in Boise, Idaho should have been today (Friday the 14th). Instead, FedEx has decided my case needs to see every state in the union before arriving. This is going to be the most American America 250 case ever. So far it has been from Indiana to Kansas, then Ohio, then Kentucky, Missouri, and now New England. I love Pelican cases, but FedEx has done this to me multiple times. I really don't understand why companies still use them. I have given up on expecting to see my package when they say they will deliver.

*Edited to fix some spelling.

Country song from late 90's local to Boise Idaho

Heard it at a small local performance and had to believe the artist would go big.

He sang about women rejecting him, but he would just smile because in every case, he would see his own reflection and be happy. At the end of the song, he smiles at a girl in a car, and she just rolls up her window. He keeps smiling, though, because he sees his own reflection. I think it has the line "It's me!" or something close.

I'm not sure it ever went mainstream. He may have produced it and is a hit somewhere, or maybe he sold it to another artist. It was a funny and catchy song, though, that I think about sometimes, and I'm just wondering if someone knows it or what happened to it.

DJI Camera's Micro SD Card Data Scare

I just got back from a weekend trip where I had about 8 hours of content between my Action 5 Pro and my Mini 4 Pro. Popped the SD card out of the Action 5 and put it in the adapter that goes to my PC, ready to copy the videos to my backup drives.

"ERROR! Cannot read card. Please format."

[Insert Luke Skywalker NOOOOOO gif here.]

Tried the SD card from the Mini 4 Pro. Same thing.

Seriously concerned, I put the cards back in their respective devices. I turn on Action 5 and look to see if playback is working on the files. It works. HALELUJAH! I connect the camera to the PC to move the videos that way.

"ERROR! Cannot read card. Please format."

Umm, how am I supposed to get these files? I start looking up data recovery software that I bought years ago, then remember the oldest IT trick in the book. I reboot my PC. Insert the SD card into the reader and BAM! Everything works.

[Insert party gif]

What a relief. Just a little anecdote for folks out there, as a reminder to not panic until necessary, and to be grateful every day your tech works without issue.
