UPS is confused

My new laptop is supposed to arrive today (yay! more blog posts! less doing what I'm not really supposed to be doing at work!). But I think UPS might be confused about where exactly Vermont is, given the following travels of my package thus far:

This also supports the argument for buying locally as much as possible if you care about things like, um, the environment and the future of humanity. I don't know that it would have been possible in this particular case, but it's a little alarming that my computer has to criss-cross the county at least four times in order to arrive at my door. Nevada to California to Vermont I might understand. Nevada-California-Illinois-Oregon-Vermont? (And that's assuming it comes straight here from Portland today, which it better because they promised, and I'm impatient!)
