Departed cube 730AM courtesy driver / bristol musician rasha shaheen to bristol airport. smooth transit through check in queue where travellers are routinely interrogated by US border officals with wheeled laptops on their identity, history and travel arrangements although they did ask me if i packed the robotic dogs myself. continental airlines' eastern european desk agent wordlessly upgraded courier to frequent flyer 'elite' status, to allow 2 giant boxes to be checked in without excess charges. delivered mini-artist talk on robot dog artist natalie jeremijenko's behalf to the oversized items desk agent, explaining the modified toy dogs' capacity to sniff out and converge in a pack on concentration gradients of common environmental toxins such as neighborhood drycleaners, after which boxes departed on baggage conveyer belt. rearranged other items to appear as 1 carry-on and cleared security without incident. 1015AM continental departure to newark, new jersey departed on time, watched bullit and read a hardback thriller about environmental justice called water inc. landing at newark 13h was ultra turbulent, threw up. it took approximately 1 hour to transit US immigration which requires now 2 thumbprints and 2 sets of 4 fingerprints from all non-US arrivals. picked up boxes from the luggage carousel, cleared customs and just prior to the bag recheck area, repacked, removing dogs and boxes to recheck 2 entirely different bags for the connecting flight to LA. 16h rendevouzed with natalie jeremijenko and car service car opposite terminal B starbucks, the dogs departed in car trunk for manhattan. After that, re-traversed Newark Liberty airport security for the 1825h Continental airlines departure to Los Angeles. LA Flyaway bus from LAX arrivals green zone to Union station for truck pickup by jenna didier of Materials & Aplications, drove to M&A for 6 days stopover, winter sun. 25th feb departed M&A by 530AM taxi back to Union station and Flyaway bus back to LAX. 745AM flight to Calgary as scheduled, dozed. At immigration, sent to secondary for questioning on what a Peer Advisor actually does. Cleared baggage check and caught last seat on 1230 banff airporter shuttle to banff with a pack of skiers and 1 wealthy woman using collective transportation out of desperation. minus 20 degrees and snow. Slept through mountain transit, alighted banff centre reception around 3PM. Coffee stored in Lloyd Hall bedroom, eventually handed over to onward courier Willy le Maitre at his JPL office on March 19th, the 2nd last day of winter. |
willy le maitre -Sampled the merchandise and observed its potent caffeine and quite perfect roast.
-Reflected on the products physiological effects- as excitant, laxative, antioxidant; I appreciate that this helps sustain me in Toronto. Is there a plant that’s indigenous to this part of the North that can do all this?
-Rented an apartment and moved the consignment to it, as it’s temporary storage until I could remember that Cheryl was the shipments consignee and she’s rather great and fun to talk to so after a few weeks we found a perfect sunny afternoon to hook up and complete the delivery.

| onward transit of FER-1327 from Codecano arrived Cube Microplex 2007-07-25 |
kate rich 20/6/07 Bank transfer for $3062 ($3011 plus added $51 for random bank charges) with Abbey UK.
17/7/07 email from Ricardo Yglesias, the transfer arrived and coffee is enroute at San Salvador airport. Phoned Kingscote freight agent at Heathrow (0208 890 1000), they will contact when the shipment is landed. 24/7, no news. 25/7 no news, midday phoned Kingscote, they had misspelt my phone number, the coffee was delivered to HCH (Delta freight handlers) Heathrow the previous night, shipping documents lost by Delta. Paid fees to Kingscote by phone. 7PM after bristol commuter traffic ebb, left Cube by car, petrol at 96p/L, M32 and M5 rainless despite earlier this week great South West Floods of 2007 engulfing towns. At Heathrow, followed Terminal 4&5 signs to arrive at the HCH cargo compound. Picked up the shipment retrieval documents at Reception with drivers ID and Kingscote authorisation. Shipment pallet delivered by forklift, boxes were all present but many were opened and the coffee bags looked rummaged. Forklifters kindly reweighed the shipment (252 kg) and recorded the pickup as damaged. Drive home was gloomy yet aromatic. Arrived Cube at midnight, unloaded 1/4 metric tonne coffee into the under-auditorium-seating area. Coop had miscompiled the order as 175kg ground coffee and 75kg beans, the reverse of my emailed order; the ground coffee was also ground too coarse. Emailed Ricardo shipping report then went home to sleep (see http://www.feraltrade.org/coffee/correspondance/shipment7/grind_disaster_07_26_2007_16:45:27-600 for more).
Ricardo Andres Yglesias M. Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:19:25 -0600 From: Ricardo Yglesias.
Hi Kate, the money arrived to the bank correctly; we took the 250 K today to
the airport, and is leaving probably tomorrow to Heathrow by Delta Air Lines
with Bill of Lading No. 006-5033-8385 so you can trace it. Tomorrow morning
I will send you the Itinerary.
Best regards Ricardo.
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:43:17 -0600 Subject: RE: Coffee shipment will go tomorrow. Hi Kate, I contacted our agent in the airport, COMCA INTERNATIONAL, and they tell me that the shipment is still on the waiting line, and will not leave today, probably tomorrow, but for sure on Friday. I will inform you of the
itinerary as soon as I have the information. Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:58:00 -0600 Hi Kate, I am sending you the mail I received today from COMCA INTL, which they say that Delta will have space until Saturday or Sunday, as I talk to Sr. Juan Montoya this morning. On the other hand we received at the Bank
$3,011.90, I understand that the bank here charges $15.00 more or less, when
we have the monthly bank statement I'll confirm to you.
