Faster Than the Speed of Shoes

I ordered a new pair of sandals on Wednesday. They're the same sandals I had last year, and they had a giant hole in them by the end of the summer, but I'm going to rationalize that they fell apart because I'm hard on my shoes, not because they're bad sandals. And they were $10 less expensive this year, and it's impossible to find shoes that fit my feet. Anyhoo, I'm tracking their shipment online. Could someone explain to me how a pair of shoes moves from Wisconsin to Minnesota in 6 minutes? I'm no geography expert, but I can't cross the STREET in six minutes.

I think they must connect to the local sorting office.

Hello! Michele sent me!

I think they do that kind of crap to screw with people. Or maybe to see if anyone is paying attention. Or maybe you are getting some pretty special sandals there...

I think that NASCAR sponsorship that UPS and FedEx has been doing is paying off. What's that tag line... moving at the speed of brown? Or something like that.
