All those miles ...

This is the route UPS says my package took:

1. San Jose, Ca (Origin)
   
2. Oakland, Ca
   
3. Dallas/Ft Worth A/P Tx
4. Alburquerque, NM
   
5. Phoenix, Az
6. Tucson, Az (Out for delivery)
   

I'm not suggesting that UPS is not doing the best job in the world that exists. But ...

824 driving miles from San Jose to Tucson. Compare to 2945 miles that the package took (39 + 1724 + 649 + 419 + 114). NOTE: All these miles are driving miles that I obtained on the internet (and not flying miles).
