Bakersfield College opens "solar parking"

As of Monday, November 8, 2010, Bakersfield College has finally opened up the parking on Panorama Drive and Mount Vernon (by Fine Arts). It has been closed since the summer to install solar panels as supplemental power for the campus and shade for the cars.

Opening up the parking will really help those who had to arrive extra early to find parking wherever they could get it, including surrounding neighborhoods.

Funny how even the smallest student parking area is so important. If the new structure is taken care of, it will be even more so - both for electricity and shaded parking.

UPS Manages to Evade You and Still be “Sorry We Missed You”

This is a story I can tell about any of the package delivery companies in the US including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. I could be waiting at home all day for my latest laptop, cellphone, or gadget and Ill walk outside to check and notice the "Sorry we missed you" note. At my old apartment it was even worse with USPS. I once caught the postman and he didn't even have the package on his truck when he stuck the "Failed Delivery" pink slip in my mailbox. These guys have balls! I always wondered how I always had to go to the post office to pick up packages.

To parody the whole situation some creative artist posted a page from the UPS delivery manual on Reddit via Gizmodo:

Have you ever been in that situation? Tell us your best package delivery story!
