    On a totally unrelated note.

    I've been slowly (very slowly) piecing together some studio lighting equipment by buying used pieces from ebay and off the internet. I found a nice and rare high speed head being sold by wedding photographer Trevor Meeks (http://www.meeksdigital.com/). After a few email exchanges we reach a deal and he sends it off via UPS and gives me a tracking number.

    I log on to UPS.com and see the following:
