- kelp 4y agoOntario CA happens to be a major shipping hub with tons of warehouses. So it often shows up in UPS or FedEx tracking if you order a lot of stuff online.

- kelp 4y agoNo I got the joke. My in-laws happen to live near Ontario and I kept having to think of the province in Canada to remember the name at first. But I also knew about it because of tracking info.
