Silent Delivery

I joked with the neighbors the other day about multiple Amazon vans being in the cul-de-sac at the same time.  I think both trucks ended up delivering stuff to my house. 

This week, Rivian and Amazon broke from their exclusivity, which is great news for other delivery services.  Now the local hardware store can look at Rivian vans or the local flower shop. The milkman?  I think that’s still a thing.

I’ve seen several Rivian Amazon vans around, but none in my neighborhood, yet.  I look forward to multiple being in the cul-de-sac in the future.  Maybe they won’t just be Amazon vans this time.
