Hey, don't get me started on geographical borders, arbitrary lines that cause more chaos and human misery than anything else I can think of. One minute you're hiking and laughing with your friends, and the next minute you're in an Iranian prison because you crossed one of these invisible lines. One day you're farming in peace and the next you're overrun by soldiers because somebody thinks the linvisible line should be "there" instead of "here."

And sometimes, your ereader sits around while some clerk tries to figure out if the paperwork is in place to move it across that invisible line.

All in all, having a non-medical package delayed is an inconvenience at worst. The timing is bad, but I'm not in a foreign prison and nobody's actively shooting at me, so I can't really complain.

I just thank God my TV remote arrived so that I can properly enjoy Sharktopus this afternoon.
