I was born in Florida, and like many of my relatives, I was expected to be a fisherman. My family loves to fish, loves to be on the water catching and killing something. So as luck would have it, I hate it. I love the ocean, love the beach, love to surf, but leave them poor little fishies in the water. I guess that’s why I love SeaWorld so much. Well, I’ve found a game that allows to do the type of fishing I like. It’s called Aqua Pets, it’s available for your smartphone and you can catch all kinds of unworldly creatures. I just caught a Werewolf fish, Mummy fish, spooky candle turtle and brain fish. Who wouldn’t want to catch that?

Bluegrass Boardwalk is finalizing deals to get the former Kentucky Kingdom open and operational again. The park says they have the financing needed, but last word was that they were waiting on economic incentive packages from the Kentucky Fair board. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into a case of the state being a little too tight. It would be a shame to see that park sit empty. Full story
