In 21 minutes my doorbell will ring.
Guaranteed.
2 hours ago I ordered a pizza from Papa John's online.
I've had no other contact with them
They sent a reply email that the pizza would be delivered at 7 p.m., as requested.
So in, now, 18 minutes, I expect the doorbell to ring.
I'm skeptical.
What are the odds this will actually happen?
I give it 60-40 in favor.
16 minutes to go.
I'll report back.
:-)

4. It was the Papa John's guy. Just leaving the restaurant.
AT 7:01.
According to their website we're 5.3 miles away.
OK, I ASSUMED the delivery time would be the time they hit our front door.
NOT the time they left the restaurant.
Silly me.

He said he'd call for directions once he got near to us.
I ASSUMED they had GPS.
Guess not.

Won't ruin my whole evening, but I think it's kinda funny.
;-)

And I would SWEAR I can smell pizza now.
Really.
Miz t. says I have an overactive imagination.

6. Touchdown at 7:18.
The guy called me and I gave him a GCA (Ground Controlled Approach) into final destination.
Not bad, really.
I'm happy.
