Miscellany for Day Two, 2008

Jade & Snow

Jade had never seen any snow until last night. It started snowing in Kingsport and covered the ground pretty quickly with a light snow. When we told her it was snowing she ran to get her coat and was soon outside with the snowflakes falling around and on her.

Thinking of Bethany

Joke of the Day

A door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman manages to bull his way into a woman's home in a rural area. "This machine is the best ever" he exclaims, whilst pouring a dusty bag of dirt over the middle of her living room floor.

The woman says she's really worried it may not all come off.

"Do you want ketchup on it?" she says, "we're not connected for electricity yet!"
