Fine Print

Pete has a pretty good sense of humor, so it was no surprise to me when he pointed out a news story on our recent "white out" weather conditions.


The caption read, 'It was truly "white-out" conditions last Monday'.
The black and white photo of said "white-out" was pretty much just a blurry gray square on the page....


For some reason the picture of nothing cracked me up to no end, and I seriously thought it was a joke at first. Is it just me having nicotine withdrawals and being loopy?

Well anyway, at least I know what isn't funny- taking the dogs for a ride when it is -14 degrees outside.
Not funny to me!

Or them.

OMG, the look of resignation on my granddog's face! And Banjo is definitely looking back at the house with longing...

chaney-the paper comes out once a week and is so small you can read it in about 5 minutes. it's not the AJC so it doesn't REALLY count towards a finger slide!

Clearly the local paper is quite desperate for a good photographer....wait a second here...isn't that you? ;-)

What's a finger slide?

Unknown said...

Thank you, Claire!!! I was too embarassed to ask about the finger slide on this post, so I emailed Diane separately. No answer yet ---probably something lewd that is code between Di and her Atlanta friends!!! I even tried Google, but just get a lot of guitar sites.

Hope Di gives Mom L & Claire an answer to what's a FINGER SLIDE! I am anxious to know what it is but I hate to admit to one more thing I don't know. How could you let yourself be talked into going out at -14? After the AAA incident I thought you would hibernate until spring.
S.B.

Chaney and I have decided that it is more fun NOT to tell you guys what a finger slide is- we had no idea that it could cause so much blog commotion! keep guessing.
