I've noticed I have more patients the older I get.
I just re-read my post and it sounded like I was upset with Amazon.

My fingers didn't type the post the way my brain said it.
What I should have said is.
Amazon is a great company to deal with and ships very fast.
And with all of the holidays and such I figure they are shut down so their workers can enjoy the holidays with their families like the rest of us.
That is probably why the books are being shipped on the 7th.
I'm going to have to get my hands, mouth and brain synchronized one of these days.
