I don’t encourage anyone who desires to receive a parcel in two days to pay for “UPS 2nd Day Air” delivery service.
Budget five days. That’s correct: five days. At least three “business days.” I had an online chat with a UPS employee who told me that “UPS 2nd Day Air” requires three days because the first day that UPS possesses a parcel is not a “transit day.” I wish that I had copied the text from our chat to show here.

UPS 2-day air delivery commitment is “delivery by the end of the second business day.” »→

On March 2, 1877, Rutherford Hayes was declared the winner of the 1876 U.S. presidential election although Samuel Tilden had won the popular vote.
KV Racing Technology announced that Ernesto Viso will race for the team in the IndyCar series. KVRT co-owner Kevin Kalkoven said, “We are delighted to welcome E. J. back for his third season with KVRT.”
Does PDVSA pay KVRT much more than the cost of Viso’s crash damage? He doesn’t win prize money, does he?
“He has shown speed in his previous two years”
(Every racer shows speed.)
“… and this year we expect many more successful finishes from him.”
Bringing cars to the finish line more often when the new chassis, replacement parts, and new engines are scarce?
“I am really happy to be back with KV Racing Technology,” Viso said.
(Who else would tolerate his frequent crashing?)
“Last year was very successful even if the results don’t necessarily reflect what we wanted.”
They were successful although they didn’t achieve results that they’d wanted?!
“We worked very hard and we proved we were competitive.”
(Yes, the team worked hard to repair cars that he crashed.)
“I want to thank all my sponsors … I look forward to rewarding them with many strong performances this season.”
(Not aiming for victories but just “strong performances?”)
On this date in 1993, a bomb exploded in a garage of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six persons and injuring more than 1,000 persons. Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States.

AT&T sent to me unwanted e-mail to acknowledge that I do not want to receive e-mail from it.
I got a copy of Parallels 7 for Mac cheaply, so I thought that I’d install it (easy; it’s a Mac application)
then ‘contaminate’ my Apple Macintosh computer by installing Microsoft Windows 7 (free-of-charge through F.S.U.)
so that I could install, then use for my F.S.U. Project Management course,
Microsoft Office Project 2010 and Microsoft Office Visio 2007 (provided by F.S.U.).
When using Parallels to install Windows on a hard drive, I immediately found a problem (sigh….).
I Google-searched for help/advice, using the error message that Windows had shown to me: “The unattended answer file contains an invalid product key. Either remove the…”
Among the search results that Google provided were questions and answers on Parallel’s support forum, including:

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York hired Anita Collins, a two-time embezzler on probation, who since has embezzled from the archdiocese more than a million dollars in seven years!
She stole every month but one while employed by the archdiocese, averaging $142,857 per year if the total were exactly one million.
But not until December 2011 did anyone notice that money had been misappropriated. And no supervisor of Collins is charged with complicity or disciplined for gross negligence. »→
On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the “Roe” versus Wade case, ruled that killing babies in utero is legal in the United States of America.

On this date in 1981, minutes after Ronald Reagan assumed the U.S. presidency, Iran released 52 Americans whom it had held hostage for 444 days.
Later, President Reagan sold F-4 warplane parts and missiles to Iran.
“Victory or death.”
Really?
Rick Perry, who is supposed to be governing the State of Texas,
not traveling the U.S.A. at the expense of the citizens of Texas, quit his quest for the U.S. Presidency!
.
Perryisms: “Write yer checks.”
“Live free or die. Ya gotta love that. Victory or death. Bring it.”
“Those that will be twenty-one by November 12, I ask for your support.”
