Story of the Day 11/25/2008

Yesterday, I had to pick Aaron up, after school.
Once each semester, he is required to read the news blurbs , on the air, of the student run radio station.

This is part f the requirement for his Radio and T.V. class.
He can do it , on additional occasions, for extra credit; but , until now, he hasn’t.


Driving to pick him up, I was lucky enough to catch one of his spots.

The news blurbs come every 30 minutes and last about 5 minutes , so, the odds were only so-so that I would catch him.

He was describing solar panels.
Apparently, a community is putting them up to generate electricity, and because of a lack of available space, the are using the cemetery.
Something or another about the previous generation serving the present one.

His other main feature , for the evening, was butt prints.
Someone has been leaving butt prints on windows of schools, churches, restaurants, in Nebraska. He , or she, was probably grateful to have been caught, since it will soon be butt-freezing cold.
At any rate, even though this elicited some interesting speculation like , “How did they know it was a butt print?” , “How did they identify who did it?” at our dinner table, Aaron’s teacher felt it wasn’t quite appropriate for on the air.

However, the rest of us are eagerly awaiting his next turn at the news desk, next Tuesday evening.
