Re: Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium
That all white lion looks like he has some dark hair strands on the top of his head. I think that makes it a good chance that the dark hair will grow in places all over him as he gets a year or two older. I have seen all white kittens with just a spot of brown on their head or tail and then as they ...

Re: Kings Food Host
Kings died because their food was priced too high and the service was often slow. Burger King arrived on the scene and Mcdonalds began to multiply. By the mid 70's you could go into any Kings and the place would be deserted. Back then McDonalds and Burger King tasted a lot better then they do now. P...

Re: 1.2M residents in metro by 2050
The way South American, Central American and Mexican illegals are pouring into this country I think the real population figures are going to be much higher then 1.3 million in 2050. They might be just about running the place by then.
