Perhaps it is time for new glasses
So the headline on a story posted on the SR website was clear enough.
“High fire danger arrives this afternoon”.
Except what I read was “High five danger arrives this afternoon”.
What?
It reminded me of the time two sports enthusiasts in the newsroom exchanged a particularly robust high five and at least one of them slightly injured a finger. This was viewed with amusement by some onlookers (I was not there) and that led to a heated exchange of views. Or something like that.
Anyway, I reread the headline and realized my mistake. Too bad. I wish celebratory gestures was all we had to worry about.
In your face, wildfires!
