Roland and Lew: Your blog reminds me that UPS had one of the most effective commercials I have ever seen on television. A TV news reporter was standing in a pouring rain in the downtown area of a city. He was relating how the torrential rains had brought the business life of the area to a stop; that stores were closing down; employers were letting their employees go home early. He emphasized that all work in the area had ceased. In the background was a UPS truck, with a UPS driver loading parcels onto his vehicle.
