Poor FedEx

They've been trying to get a package to me since 2/27 but the weather keeps delaying it, and they keep pushing the delivery date back. It's saying it will be delivered today, now, but really? Look at the tracking. Sigh. The funny thing is it is of all things a cane flashlight (light that attaches to the cane so I can see when it's dark, like taking the trash out or going to the car at night). Keep trying FedEx, I think I'm going to need it. But a real ETA might be better. I do not hope to see it today. Tomorrow, maybe, if the weather between Indiana and Kentucky holds. Considering it came from Oregon originally, and with the snow and wind storms, they're doing what they can.

UPDATE: Apparently I needed to post about my package, and then I got this text:

Meat-eating amphibian predates dinosaurs: Named after shipping service, Fedexia survived ancient climate shift

An interesting "rock" initially tossed aside at a FedEx site near Pittsburgh International Airport turns out to be the skull of a meat-eating, early terrestrial amphibian that lived 70 million years before the first dinosaurs emerged, according to a paper released Monday in the Annals of Carnegie Museum.

The approximately 300-million-year-old carnivorous amphibian has been named Fedexia striegeli. The genus name refers to the well-known shipping service, while the species name recognizes Adam Striegel, who spotted the animal's well-preserved, 5-inch-long (12.5-centimeter-long) fossil skull while he was a University of Pittsburgh student on a field trip.

Striegel originally threw it aside, thinking it wasn't important. But then he and class lecturer Charles Jones noticed its pointy teeth and tusks, so the skull was brought to experts at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

See what field trips to FedEx will get you?
