Oh Chels,

Thank you for looking back. And thank you for saying so, too. You must have thought I had been kidnapped by aliens from some prissy planet.

And as I looked back on what I wrote last night, I sure see how you thought what you thought.

I was sitting here last night wrestling with the angel that is on one of my shoulders and the devil that is on the other one. I opened that picture and had my raunchy thought and laughed at my bad self and then talked myself out of posting that thought.

And this is a perfect example of why I should never type after midnight. I could not even make myself clear. But I guess it could have been worse. I could have typed my raunchy caption.

I will proofread better -- for clarity especially. Had I included just one little prepositional phrase, "My first thought for a caption was absolutely raunchy," the meaning would have been clear.

Or had I written, "The first caption that popped into my mind was absolutely raunchy."

Anyway, Chels, thanks again for doing a double take.

And this one proves beyond a reasonable doubt that I have no business typing after midnight.

Boomer
