Poor reading skills (but I was eating breakfast)

One time at the start of a business trip to Indianapolis I spent a Tuesday night in Springfield, Ohio. Springfield got about five inches of snow between about 1 and 5 AM Wednesday. So it goes.

As I sat in the breakfast area of my hotel Wednesday morning absolutely destroying the complimentary hot breakfast, I watched the TV in the corner. The scroll across the bottom of the screen was listing, one by one, the school closings and other school issues for the area: Urbana Schools were running two hours late, St. Peter's Catholic School was closed, and so on. Then up popped 'Dayton Low Skills Academy closed'. I thought, wow, that's kind of harsh.

I happened to sit through as the scroll repeated itself. This time, when it came to Dayton I saw that it said Dayton Life Skills Academy closed. I'd read it wrong the first time.

But in my defense, I was highly engaged in destroying the complimentary hot breakfast. To that end, mission accomplished.
