Can't make this stuff up: I'm expecting a package. According to the USPS tracking page, it was in Santa Clarita yesterday. Instead of putting it on a truck and sending it to Ventura (an easy 30 minute drive down CA-126), they sent it to the USPS Santa Barbara Distribution Center.
Which is currently inaccessible from this end.
And which requires making an extensive detour in order to get it there (about four hours from Santa Clarita, if memory serves).
