Front page news

Grandma's tumble down the hill at Abbey Point didn't escape the attention of the crack staff at the Shakopee Valley News, renown Minnesota scandal sheet. The action photo of Kathleen's spectacular flip down the backyard toboggan slide made the front page of last week's edition. (Click for a clearer view and to read the caption.) It took seven days for the newspaper to reach Kathleen's mailbox in Tucson and when it did, she said, "I just don't see how that is front page news."
Gee. Could it have something to do with the inherent human interest in seeing a senior citizen with her feet high in the air. . . and the fact that her husband, the publisher emeritus, emailed the photo to the editor with a caption attached?
