New York Times - Slow on the Trigger

Yesterday, Slashdot had a story from the NY Times about UPS limiting left turns in its driving patterns for the big brown Teamster-driven trucks. Plenty of other blogs and websites picked up on this exciting “news” story yesterday, too.  It’s a cute story, isn’t it?

But it’s hardly news.  I linked to a story about this a year and a half ago.

So, slow news day?  Or UPS publicity machine finding a new venue for an old story?

You make the call.

    It’s Peak Season. Wouldn’t surprise me that it’s publicity. ;)

    Oh, yeah, and full disclosure: Brown pays my check. Which is why I’m otherwise keeping my mouth shut. ;-)
