Friday Foto #2



Well friends, here we are for week two of the Friday Foto, and this week has yet another gem right outside my front door to share with you. On this particular day, April 4, 2006, I was headed out to go to a meeting around 9:00 a.m., and this Tennessean paper box was sitting on the street directly in front of our house. I have no idea how long it had been there, but it must have been kindly delivered by some quality individual during the dark hours of the previous night—you know, when normal people sleep.

Hats off to the genius that did this, because it provided me a bright spot of entertainment on an overcast April morning. I was not about to call the Tennessean and report it being on our street, because it was just too funny, and I wanted to see how long that heavy box with concrete remnants along its bottom (serving as a reminder that it did in fact have a home that it should never have left) would grace our fair street. Can you feel the suspense building?

Turns out it was there most of the day, until a crew of guys came with a flat bed truck to haul it off. I yelled out a rebellious BOO!!! from my office, and then went about my day. So what is the moral of this story? ALWAYS have your camera ready people, because you never know when the very container the daily news arrives in arrives and makes itself the daily news.
