We start with another note from Joe Plum,who offers this interesting taste test of the so-called "Frankenfish" the Snakehead,which is native to Asia and is suddenly taking the Potomac River by storm.
Kevin Ambrose of the Washington Post compares the taste of the Snakehead to some various popular fish such as Tilapia,Flounder Catfish and Cod.
Ambrose and his taste buds rated the Snakehead surprisingly high against the better known fish and perhaps it will encourage more fisherman to tackle the Snakehead via rod and reel an an attempt battle back against its takeover of the river.....
I recently discussed my dislike for former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley in a recent podcast and wished for a devastatingly awful result for O'Malley's Presidential campaign (much like he devastated Maryland,but I digress).
Five Thirty Eight nails the title (click here for more) and explains more on why O'Malley and his campaign is On a first class ticket to NOWHERE...
This is an old article from the New York Times that discusses the Pennsylvania convenience store war between Western Pa's Sheetz and Eastern's Wawa.
We are surrounded by Sheetz here locally,but in Frederick,Wawa has begun to dip into Maryland.
For some reason,I think I have written about this before,but I couldn't find anything here,so if it has been mentioned already-I apologize.
Grantland writes about John Cusack,who I consider a favorite actor and his career work.
Cusack plays various roles,is not afraid to try new things and is willing to do some small independent work if he likes the role-All admirable qualities in an actor.
Cusack appears as the Beach Boys Brian Wilson in the upcoming film "Love and Mercy",which not only appears interesting,but hopefully features Wilson's "Love and Mercy" as the movie theme.
I've always considered the title song to be Wilson's best work as a solo artist.
We've written about our Star Trek fandom,Leonard Nimoy and Mr.Spock,but now there is an official asteroid named after the late actor.
Nimoy 4864 is an asteroid that orbits the Sun and is located between Mars and Jupiter.
I doubt you'll be seeing Nimoy 4864 anytime soon,but it's a cool tribute to the Science Fiction icon...
We wrap up with a Grantland article on abandoned amusement parks including the Six Flags one in Louisiana that was closed by Hurricane Katrina and was a host for the filming of Jurassic World.
The article talks about the desolation of such places and the two Disney parks that are closed off to the public.
Interesting if you like Disney or just nature taking things back for itself...
Back tomorrow with either the end of the Cavaliers season or the setup for Game Seven!
