One report I saw on CNN said that UPS handled 80% of the package
deliveries in the US.  If that's true, then the problem is obvious.  I
guess another bit of data is that UPS is still delivering, there are
just a lot of grey-haired manager types driving trucks around (I've
seen three different UPS trucks just today).  But I'm sure that their
capacity is still *much* lower than normal.


in case anyone really cares,
