I have some competition.

I suppose a receipt is out of the question...

We are happy to report that Kryptonite did begin this program in October and thousands of replacement locks have been sent out to customers in the last few weeks. Kryptonite continues to manufacture and ship new products to consumers on a weekly basis. The whole process of the Lock Exchange Program is a complex one with manufacturing and transportation all coming into play. We are building and air shipping the new locks to get them out to our customers as fast as possible.

For those of you who are still waiting to get your UPS postage paid label, here is an update:

U-locks (bicycle and powersports), Padlocks, Cables and Evolution Disc Locks (New York Chain and New York Noose) - replacement locks are being manufactured at this time and will be shipped to consumers as they become
available.

Automobile locks - these locks are being manufactured now and will be shipped in December.

DFS and KryptoDisco - these locks are being re-engineered now and will be available to consumers in January.

As further information becomes available we will post it to our website at http://www.kryptonite.com and be sending email updates, as needed.

We appreciate your loyalty and patience during this challenging time. Please know that we are working around the clock to get a new lock to everyone who has signed up for the Lock Exchange Program.

And lastly, when packing your lock to return to us, please be kind to our planet and use as little packing material as possible.

Regards,
Team Kryptonite

Competence

The Exit Polls have done enough damage to this election. My bet is that it was incompetence at Edison/Mitofsky. But those firms owe it to this Nation to release their data totally, so that a wide range of competent statisticians can evaluate whether and where the problem was. ...[W]e should demand what, in this context, should be our right: to have access to the data.

Glitch?

Imagine if there were 40 more.

"Engineers?" "Contractors?" Or "Guys With Pokin' Sticks?"

The thrilling saga of the huge puddle and the presumably inadequate drain and catch-basin that will probably never be rebuilt even though that's what they probably need continues.

Update: apparently I was a little too cynical (me?); the latest email from the property manager sounds like they really are going to maybe do whatever it is that needs doing. I'll hold out on completely rescinding my cynicism until tonight after my commute home. Home, where the TV will tell me how to re-register for the re-vote, who will be appointed president, and/or when we will undergo marshal law.
