I fixed it for you.

I read the other day of a lady there driving and a very deadly Tiger Snake (I think it was called), came down the the dash and tried going up her leg.
I shouldn’t laugh. They are deadly buggers - the advice is “keep your distance, don’t try to touch, capture or harm”. From memory these ones will strike first and ask questions later. Only if they feel threatened though.

There have been car smashes and near misses with Huntsman spiders in cars. They have been riding above the sun visor and when the driver flips it down to use it, the Huntsman drops down into their lap. Much panic. The thing is these are harmless, but the are big and scary looking.
 
Well, the bass I shipped Nov 25 is finally out for delivery...

My review the USPS asked for.
Package sat for days before going anywhere. No updates, no knowledge of where the expensive package was. After 12 days, I contacted support. Was told several days later the package was still in the zip where I left it! Next morning I went to that PO. They told me it was at the destination city in AZ. Either the system is incompetent or the workers involved were. Or both--take your pick. And/or one at the local PO flat out lied when I asked him about it still being at the PO where I left it. No way of knowing because tracking is so awful. Five days later it magically shows up where it's supposed to be and will be delivered the next day. It was a large package and impossible to lose. So weeks later, it is finally out for delivery. After paying a whooping over $256 to ship it these delays and inability to have even a clue where the package is, is utterly unacceptable. Any real business would have to account for this foolishness and the customer would be refunded a portion due to the inexcusably horrifically bad service. But that certainly won't happen here.
 
Per Google…
“The name "Big Sur" originates from the Spanish phrase "El Sur Grande," which translates to "The Big South," referring to the vast and relatively unexplored coastal region south of Monterey, California, as described by early Spanish settlers”
Aha similar to our “Great Southern Land”
