Tough choice to make

Posted by on Jun 26 at 02:00 PM

CINCINNATI (AP) _ Gas for only a buck-40 a gallon? Well, it was too good to be true. Long lines formed at a Marathon station in suburban Cincinnati. It seems a computer glitch caused the gas pumps to charge just $1.40 a gallon instead of $4.10. Hamilton County sheriff's deputies finally convinced workers at the station to close after traffic was jammed by drivers looking for a bargain. Tiffany Smith waited in line for two hours to buy the cheap gas. She says she's been faced with the tough choice of having to buy gas or food for her family. A clerk at the Marathon station tells a local TV station he didn't know how to fix the price on the pumps.

This Saturday Nebraska takes on Kansas in an Eight Man all star football game. The game is set for Saturday night at 7pm in Crete at Doane College. We will have the game on AM 880 KRVN and the game will also be streamed at krvn.com. This is the first time that these two states have squared off in this type of a game. Any predictions?

What's your favorite movie?

Another movie list has been compiled. Do you agree with these? Personally I can't believe Rocky 4 was listed about Raging Bull! Just kidding!

     LOS ANGELES (AP) _ ``Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,'' ``The Wizard of Oz'' and ``City Lights'' share top billing among the American Film Institute's best genre movies.
     ``Snow White'' took the top prize for animation, ``The Wizard of Oz'' won for fantasy and ``City Lights'' for romantic comedy.
     Charlie Chaplin's ``City Lights,'' from 1931, one of only two silent films to make the genre lists, was a surprise, beating such popular modern romances as ``Annie Hall,'' number-two on the list, ``When Harry Met Sally'' checked in at number-six and ``Sleepless in Seattle'' at number-ten.
     Some other No. 1 movies: ``The Searchers'' for Westerns; ``Raging Bull'' in sports; ``To Kill a Mockingbird'' as best courtroom drama; ``Lawrence of Arabia'' in the epics category; ``Vertigo,'' for mystery; ``2001: A Space Odyssey'' in science fiction and ``The Godfather'' as top gangster flick.

Good idea to save gas

Good idea!

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) _ Lots of folks are trying to scoot around high gas prices -- on scooters. Music prof Ryan Fletcher recently bought a motor scooter for his short daily commute to Virginia's College of William and Mary. Fletcher says instead of dropping more than 50 bucks a week on gas, he's paying about eight dollars. But riding a scooter has a downside. Fletcher tells the Daily Press newspaper that he's a big guy and some people might think he looks awfully silly on a little scooter. ^<

Big Brown Bust

Posted by on Jun 09 at 01:49 PM

I would like to say that I'm surprised that Big Brown didn't win the Triple Crown on Saturday, but I'm not. With all of the talking trainer Rick Dutrow did the past couple of weeks I figured he would have to eat a big bowl of crow which ended up being the case. Even when Big Brown suffered the hoof injury he kept telling anyone who would listen that there was no way his horse wouldn't win. Maybe next time he will put a sock in it, and wait to talk when he horse actually wins all three races. Never tempt fate!
