30 candles - or in this case 60 candles on the cake
Okay, it's a slow news day.
Even so, we predict this post will explode on the internet. It's a "selfie" of former Bluffton natives Kristen Lugibihl, Ashley Luginbuhl, Ben Luginbuhl and Ben's wife, Alex Roth.
Since Ben has a zillion Facebook friends, this photo has already landed in practically every Buffton Facebook follower's page anyway. In our way of thinking that puts it in the Public Domain.
It appears that the twins - Kristen and Ashely - are in a 30th birthday celebration in a hotel somewhere in Oregon. And the celebration involves the larger family. Everyone in this photo lives in Portland.
Our question is this: Ben, where did you learn to tie that turban? And: Are there two cakes with 30 candles each, or one cake with 60 candles?
