A fish with two mouths

I don't have the paper in front of me that I read this in, but I read in the Lincoln Journal Star about a man catching a fish that had two mouths. It was a trout and it was caught in Holmes Lake in Lincoln, Nebraska. An odd place for a trout, but rumors of the pollution in this lake have led to many stories about mutant fish. Now we have proof.

Richard Pryor

Another comedian is gone. Richard Pryor born on December 1, 1940 died December 10, 2005 at the age of 65. Although I was never a big fan because his comedy was a bit vulgar at times in my opinion I did enjoy The Toy and Silver Streak.

 

For a mini-biography of Richard Pryor go to Wikipedia.com.

 

Pryor died of cardiac arrest at the age of 65 in an Encino hospital at 8 a.m. on December 10, 2005. He was brought to the hospital after his wife's attempts to resuscitate him failed. His wife was quoted as saying that "at the end there was a smile on his face.

Bank of the West

I had a checking account with Commercial Federal. They were bought out by Bank of the West. Now I can't access my online banking even after making two calls to customer service and one visit to my bank. I need to be able to see my account online so that I know where I am financially in my day to day business. I am very unimpressed and disappointed by Bank of the West. Maybe I will write the editor of my local newspaper so that they can't print my dissatisfaction in the editorial column of their newspaper, the Lincoln Journal Star.

Lincoln Nebraska weather report

I have been remiss in posting to this blog but I have been very busy with several projects that have eaten away at my time.

 

Here in Lincoln, Nebraska it's cold outside and I dread going out. It is currently 11 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:41 AM. It is supposed to warm up today and we may actually see 40 degrees tomorrow on Saturday, December 10th after days of lows between 5 below and 10 degrees.

 

I think the warm temperatures will only be a lull in what I feel is both going to be a cold and snowy winter season for all of our northern US states.

 

I guess I will just think warm thoughts as I prepare to go to work this afternoon at my temp job as a psychiatric technician.
