YouWe are due for a refresher course onyour color chart Sir! May I suggest insipid yellow?
It's a solid suggestion, but I think for now I'm gonna stick with my "comfort color," bullshit blue.

More fun with USPS.
Got a shipping notice that the package was received at a USPS center in Bedford Park, IL. Thinking, "Oh, that's right next to Chicago, and really close to MI. Maybe it'll arrive tomorrow".
Latest update. It's now arrived at a USPS center in Charlotte NC. Yes, that makes lots of sense.

I rest my case.
Just because I happen to like CPKs, doesn't mean I want my packages traveling to CPK before they're finally delivered to me

I had one shipped from AZ headed to a town 40 mi sw of OKC, shipped priority on Thursday spoze to arrive Monday. Went from AZ to Dallas, Wisconsin, OKC, Wisconsin, KC, Tulsa, OKC and finally to home PO for delivery on Wednesday. I went to the PO and picked it up cause we are on a rural route and have had it be after 8pm before delivery. We also learned that if the tracking says delivered to Fischer, it’s actually not delivered to anyone and sitting in the PO.

I've had all kinds of weird stuff happening lately as well. Packages arriving at the main distribution center 4 hrs from my place, and the tracking info saying it would be delivered the next day. And then the next day the tracking info shows that the package went 5 hours in the wrong direction and isn't getting delivered for another day or two.

I use to be a G10 guy. Cheap micarta did it to me. But since experiencing well-made CPK micarta, I dislike G10 and have shifted to loving micarta 
But here is the thing...I, for the life of me, just cannot find the functional differences between canvas vs linen vs burlup.
Is one type more durable than another?
Is one easier to clean?
Less likely to soak up fluids?
My understanding is that in terms of grippiness it goes, burlup > canvas > linen?
Someone please break this down for me. It would help choosing the plethora of awesome CPK scales, so much easier
