New York Times - Slow on the Trigger
December 13th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
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. ;-)
