Crate update - Part 2

Do you remember this crate?

Sigh... we don't anymore!

We called for an update this morning. Luckily since we've been pretty persistent in staying in contact with our shipping company, they knew right away why I was calling. The news wasn't too good though. Since our shipment was small and getting "expressed," it got bumped to a later ship. Ummm what?

The result of this "express" shipment is that we'll now be getting our crate at the end of February. (Although, they were quick to amend that with "as long as there are no other delays.")
That makes almost exactly a 6-month journey for our crate (optimistically assuming it does arrive in February). So I thought I'd come up with a list of things that you can do with 6 months time...

You can walk across America.

You can make a start on walking from Perth to Sydney dressed as a Storm Trooper.

If our crate was a joey, it would be about to get kicked out of it's mother's pouch.

If there were two cockroaches in our crate when it left (God forbid), there will be 13,000 of them when we open it.

Imagine there's some furniture under these

If our crate was a senator, it would have passed one bill by this time. Maybe.

If we had out our crate on the Curiosity instead of a freight ship, it could be halfway to Mars.

And if our crate had started growing a beard on the day we shipped it, today it might look something like this masterpiece.
