Oven Bake Element and Time Travel

So our oven's bake element burned out in a bright, but short lived electical fire.  (Everything's fine.)  If you know Jenn, you know this is something of an issue.  So I ordered another one, only to discover that FedEx has discovered time travel.


That's right.  It left NJ at 12:20 AM on the 19th, and arrived at 11:58 PM on the 18th.  I hope the warping of space-time doesn't cause this bake element to burn out.  It was scheduled to arrive today, but because of the snow, it's delayed.  Or maybe it arrived before I ordered it?

(For those doubters that think it may just be the time zone, consider that the package would have to have traversed the 1000 miles in 38 minutes.  That's an average speed of 633 miles per hour!)

Only an engineer uses the word "traversed" and figures out the speed.

By the way, we would love to try those space cookies when done (unless they have some weird radiation being emitted as a byproduct of space travel!)

We love you and miss you guys! Merry Christmas!!!!
