FROSTY’S VERSION OF THE STORY INVOLVES A LOT MORE OF ME RUNNING AWAY THAN I THINK IS NECCESSARY

Frosty called me down to the basement the yesterday and said


“Hey Pete, I got a really good picture of you at the chase, come check it out.”

When I got downstairs, he gave me the drawing you see above.

“It really captures the way you like to run away from danger.”

And after a solid five minutes of teasing, Frosty told me that I actually did a pretty good job at my first chase. Apparently they’ve had a few interns who jumped on the first available bus home after their first storm experience. Then he told me that since I’ve shown that I can handle myself out in stormy weather, he wants me out taking pictures every chance I can get, and if they’re good enough he’ll put them with his collection and give me a co-credit – how cool is that! I’m trying to convince Frosty to let me post some of his pictures on my blog, but he’s really strange about it. I guess people are willing to pay a lot of money for good storm footage, but only if it’s never been seen before - so I guess that’s why he’s so protective of his work. But I’ll keep bugging him about it, maybe he’ll cave.

  1. I wish I could have seen the tornado touch down. The way you describe it makes it seem very cool.

  2. It was really cool! I don't recommend seeing one up close, but if you ever get a chance to see one from really, really, really far away (really far away - like seven miles.) I'd say go for it :)

  3. Tell Frosty I love this drawing. XDDD Not to be, like, making fun of you or anything. I love this blog! By the way... ever heard of a guy named Sonny Joon?

  4. Sonny Joon, the name sounds really familiar - does he have a television show or something like that?

  5. I'm not sure. Knowing the guy, probably. He was last heard of on a island in the Carriban (I know I spelled that wrong. XD) I think.... he draws a lot, and eats lots of Koko Kringles. Speaking of candy, does Pa carry Koko Ks? =)

  6. You're so lucky! I can't seem to get any anywhere. I just find the wrappers. Last time I saw some it was out in the country somewhere, by Moon Lake, I think it was called. Anyway. Tell the rest of the team Sarah says hi! :D
