Click to ENLARGE. Just in 3 weeks … back to BIG, unnecessarily large box.

AI can be an iterative process & I guess this means that it is learning — learning from its mistakes — & getting better.

So we get a 40 lbs bag of dog food delivered every 3 weeks from Amazon. It is much cheaper & of course, easier, than buying it locally & lugging it home.

I liked the BIG BOXES that they used for the delivery. They made IDEA, disposable GARBAGE CONTAINERS for the garage. I would leave it in the garage & fill it up with thrash. Then on my next trip to the dump I would throw it away — now full of trash. Good recycling, really.

The small box was too small to serve my purposes.

Now, NO BOX.

Our main Amazon delivery person is a lithe, young lady. Good height but very slim. I saw her carrying this 40 lbs bag DRAPED over her arm! I couldn’t do that. Too heavy by half for I. She was just carrying it like it weighed NOTHING. Wow. I was impressed.

Lets see how long the NO BOX approach lasts. I really would like the BIG boxes to be brought back. I make good use of them.
