+A little more than a month ago, I noticed that my computer charger had
+slightly yellowed at the ends. Though I'm unsure how, it seemed like
+it had sustained some sort of heat damage. I went over to
+[Wirecutter][NYT] to pick one out, ordered it off Amazon, and... it
+never came.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Checking the app, the package was marked as delivered. Checking my
+front door said differently. I got a refund and ordered another,
+which I've been using ever since (pretty good, only downside is that
+it's only 1m long, but it makes up for that in speed).
+
+A couple days later – or maybe weeks, I'm not sure – I noticed an
+Amazon package tossed midway into a bush by my front door. It wasn't
+the full box kind, made of cardboard. More like an envelope, I
+suppose.
+
+> Huh, that's neat.
+>
+> There's an Amazon package in the bush.
+>
+> Wonder what it's doing there.
+
+After several weeks of thinking this every time I exited my front door
+(a fairly rare occurance, these days), I opened it. Wet from the rain,
+I figured it was time to bring it inside.
+
+It would appear as if the person who received my first charger order
+delivered it to me, but couldn't quite make it to the door.
+
+Now I've got two chargers, for the price of one. One from Amazon.
+
+One from the bush.
