A FedEx truck in Oroville California had a piece of a bridge that was being built fall and crush the truck. They were still working on getting the driver out in the video.

Anyways if you have any packages going FedEx they may not arrive.

"They may not arrive"? Isn't that a huge exaggeration?

This is a *delivery* truck, just one truck out of thousands, and it's in Oroville, which is about as out of the way as you can get in California.

The odds of any particular random package having been on that truck are so infinitesmal that you're better off buying a ticket for tomorrow's Super Lotto, estimated to be $49 million.

Hmmm, fluff, a winning ticket for 100+ million was sold in nearby Dallas, just a few weeks ago in the Mega Millions.

I have won 6 times in the last year, of course not the big one, but $600 once ain't bad. I'm way ahead of what I have spent.

Well, Bill, it looks like you might have used up all the good luck you've been alotted this month.

Did you ship something to Oroville yesterday? 'Cause, chances are you had a package on that truck.

Nope. Nothing to Oroville. I sell postcards and I recall only selling 1 or 2 to California since 1999. Do they not buy postcards, or what? LOL

Etexbill, you've got to be kidding! California + Florida are my hottest markets for US postcards!

Nope, not kidding. Residents of Florida buy a lot of my cards, but California almost zilch. I don't understand it either, a large percentage of CA residents are from all over the country and you would think they would be interested in some of them at least. Bill

pixiamom, I have a card right now on sale of a train in Hollywood CA, with a bid. Where is the bidder from? North Dakota. Go figure.

One of my favorite California card customers lives in the Netherlands. The only California cards I avoid are the Edward Mitchell cards. Many are beautiful but several years ago a warehouse full of old new stock surfaced and the market is glutted with them.
