My parents love me

They're coming up to visit for Thanksgiving and I'm attempting to cook the turkey. Dad's bringing cold cuts - I like to say it's in case I screw up the turkey, but the main purpose is for other meals. They left the house an hour and a half ago, and have since travelled 30 miles. The 175-mile trip usually takes 3 hours, but it'll probably take them 6 hours tonight, putting their arrival at 10pm. Yeah I know that math doesn't work out (30 mi in 1.5 hours = 1/3 mph, 175mi/(1/3)mph = really big number of hours), but traffic always clears up later in the day, even holiday weekends. Even so, Dad's driving in traffic for 6 hours, and Mom's riding in the car with him for the same amount of time. They really love me. :)

Oh heh, that's what happens when I don't show my work. I should know better. I think I swapped minutes for hours in there somewhere. :-P
