They say a picture's worth a thousand words.  But I discovered this week that for some people, it's actually worth a million.

I was preparing a story in West University Place when a dozen or so students came to our Fox 26 live truck.

 

They said they were participating in a Scavenger Hunt organized by the "Young Life" ministry.  And they asked if they could take a picture with me.

 

They told me a photo of them posing with a celebrity was worth a lot of points in their Scavenger Hunt.  Not 100,000 points.  Not 500,000 points.  A MILLION points.

 

Let me put that in perspective for you.  If every point were a dollar, it might look like this:

 

 

I gently informed them that a photo of me, along with $3.99, would buy them a grande Latte at Starbucks.

 

 

But who was I to deny these eager youngsters a million points?  We all gathered in front of the Fox 26 logo on the back of the truck, and... FLASH!

 

They got their photo.  And, presumably, their points.

 

And I heard them exclaim, ere they rode out of sight...

 

 

Okay, so I made up that last part.
