Haiku For You – February 1 – Hot DOG!

Super A T L?
The Benz $2 dollar Hot Dogs!
SUPER! A T L!

Event though Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was hosting the Super Bowl, the basic hot dog price was in place for those people struggling after paying the minimum price for tickets of $3,000. Fountain pop with FREE REFILLS were also available. I was my local Movie Tavern has those prices.

Still, a tip-o-the-hat to Arthur Blank for holding this line on concessions. I couldn’t afford a ticket but it was nice to know I could have been happy in the hot dog line.

January 30 – Snow? OH! Snow! No go!

Snow? OH! Snow! No go!
Snow no show so go, Go, GO!
No ice for JoJo.

A tribute to my good friend, Photog JoJo Johnson (The Great), who spent 3 hours this morning in the 11Alive Storm Tracker searching, unsuccessfully, for ice anywhere in Atlanta. Warnings for storms had been broadcast for days and everyone was advised to stay home. Come the morning of the storm and not a flake to be seen. I arrived at the station the same time as JoJo was pulling in, driving the 11Alive Storm Tracker. He had one disgusted look on his face as he told he had been out since 4AM looking for ice to show in the morning news. I could tell you what he told me, but this is a family blog.

I admit got a little too Dr. Suessy on this one but I am fascinated with the use of one syllable words.
