Okay, okay, okay...I'm not crazy about the pending snow this weekend, either. Just head to your favorite grocery store and stock up. Keep you boots, shovel and gloves hand. Most importantly keep a good attitude, this shall pass,too. Follow the weather at mycentralnebraska.com. Click on the weather tab.

WOW, talk about weird weather. Record highs in some places, heavy rains in other places, along with snow, sleet and freezing rain. It must be winter!  How do you deal with it? Many of us just take it as it comes. Here in Nebraska I've learned to keep a snow shovel and some ice melt nearby. Some of use cover the windshield with a tarp to keep the ice off. Gotta make sure that tarp is secure, or you'll be looking for it down the street!  Have you noticed the gas station seems to be busier when the temperature if 30 degrees, rather than say minus 10 degrees? Who wants to pump gas and freeze!?!  When the weather service puts out a winter storm warning the check out at the grocery store seems to get longer. Besides picking up the essentials, people grab their comfort food. What's yours? Slim Jims, popcorn, maybe doughnuts. Whatever, I bet you catch yourself next time grabbing something that is non-essential. Got school children? They keep checking our website (mycentr...

Reading on line today a story from CNBC. The CEO of the New York Times says print journalism has at least another ten years of life. He expects changes to be made to the structure of the Times, and it will prevail via on-line subscription. This means it will come to your phone, laptop, tablet, etc. This should be "good news" to the forests. No more trees being shredded for news print. So they will continue to evaluate the economics of having a print edition. No longer can a grade schooler earn money by making the rounds and deliver the local paper. It does present some challenges for electronic media like radio and television. One question that comes to mind, "what happens to the comic strip". How about the front page picture of the local parade, or the picture of the high school football player carrying the ball for the winning touchdown? Yes, it can be added to a video stream, but how quickly? It's food for thought for the present-day local media to w...

Receiving free items in the mail sounds like a great thing, but one Massachusetts couple has had enough of it. Mike and Kelly Gallivan say they've received dozens of Amazon packages that they never ordered and it's becoming annoying. 25 packages have arrived at their door since October. Each one contains something small and inexpensive, like phone chargers, plastic fans, phone cases and an outdoor TV cover. The couple eventually figured out that a company is likely sending the items to them as a scheme to get fraudulent reviews. The Gallivans have contacted Amazon, and the online retailer is looking into their claims. Meanwhile, they say they're donating all of the items they've received

A Florida man who opened up his mouth during a drug bust ended up making his wife open up a much more private area for cops -- who found a stash of dope hidden in her lady parts. Steven and Jamie Schultz were initially pulled over after their car was spotted weaving back and forth over a solid yellow highway line. As one deputy wrote up a citation and checked their licenses, another called for backup, including a K-9 unit, which caught a scent of cocaine that prompted a search of the vehicle. According to the police report, the couple was then put in the backseat of a patrol car, where a recording device caught them discussing a hiding place for the drugs, and deciding on Jamie's private parts -- where a female officer found a baggie of coke during an exam at the station
