UPS moved thirteen boxes with a total weight over 500 pounds, using ground service, overnight from Boston to Waltham for $139.80.  Is that amazing or what?  The move was completed overnight because Waltham is so close to Boston.  Were a rental van available, my guess is that the total price would have been at least $100-$150 (after taxes, gas, mileage tax, other fees and taxes), not to mention the hours of lugging I would have had to perform, all of the Gatorade I would have consumed during the move and all of the pizza I would have consumed after completing the move (and I would have probably been very sore for a few days -- the hot bath would still have felt good).  I also estimate that the minimum charge by a reputable and reasonable moving company would have been at least $500.

UPS did require that I weigh and measure the dimensions of each box and that I pack and secure them properly.  After that, I simply left the boxes in my office for them to pick up (with a check in the amount of $139.80) and the next day they were delivered directly into my new office.  Who knew?  One can obtain shipping costs using the UPS "Quick Cost" feature.  My boxes were considered a "One Time Pickup."  I loved their service. My back and Amy are glad that UPS made for a terrific move.
 

Luis Castillo RBI Watch (Through September 1, 2000)

Number of Hits......Batting Average......Number of RBI......Runs Scored
......153.......................353............................11........................83

Luis went 3-5 with one rbi and scored two runs as the Marlins  defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-7 in eleven innings.  Luis leadoff with singles in the first, third and fifth innings.  In the sixth inning, with one out and the bases loaded, Luis hit into a fielder's choice to the shortstop which knocked in a run (the man going to second base was out); oh, the irony of Luis getting an rbi on a fielder's choice and not on one of his three hits for the game.  In the eighth inning with one out and men on the corners (i.e., first and third), he drew a walk.  With two outs and no one on base, he struck out to end the tenth inning.  (These data are from ESPN.com)
