Observed Today

Earlier today, the UPS and FedEx trucks delivered packages on opposite sides of our street at the same time. The drivers, after returning to their vehicles, stopped to chat briefly through their windows. I wonder what insights they shared in this busy season! I have noticed school bus drivers wave to each other as they pass, but the notion of drivers for competing delivery services stopping to greet each other just seemed nice and appropriate for the season.

Tangentially, my Dear Husband pointed out to me a while back the arrow hidden in the FedEx logo. This makes it my second favorite logo, behind the old Northwest Airlines logo (which contains an N, W, and manages to point northwest in a compass!).
