Why does the USPS even bother to offer package tracking? They say my package has an expected delivery date of today but the tracking hasn't been updated since Saturday. They never seem to update the stupid site! How hard can it be to scan the code and have the system update? Really.
I get the package while the tracking info still has it sitting in four states away. Every time!! Ugh.

USPS tracking is terrible. It really is nothing more than a number and an expected delivery date.
And the kicker is they took it down last night for maintenance. Umm. What did they maintain?
They ran a query to see everything that was supposed to be delivered yesterday but wasn't. Updated the tracking to today.
Here's a not quite so inspirational photo from Baidu Street View in Hangzhou.
Not so long ago it was a busy neighbourhood, with shops, houses and a school, where I used to live and work.

So what happened?
It was all pulled down and cleared for new development, to extend Venice.
I spent a year here. Complete with canals, gondolas, piazzas, fine hotels, luxury apartments, upscale shopping ...but no people. It's a ghost city.
Can explore it yourself:

I thought the Russians were the usual builders of Potemkin Villages

Well... somehow, the one song on the album that I absolutely must have is the one song that is not in my folder.
... not on the laptop. Not on the backup. Nor the network storage.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you, Amazon, for remembering that I bought this from you and allowing me to download it again.

That was Russians, and not Soviets.
Still trying to find an Eiffel Tower or Piazza San Marco in Jinan.
