Wednesday
morning, LDN
spied these two
Humvees in the
back parking lot
of the Lincoln Police
Department. The Humvees were
delivered to the
Sheriff's department via a
military surplus
grant, at no
cost.
The vehicles,
which are
designed for
rough terrains,
will be used in
emergency
situations such
as for rescue
during severe
weather.
Otherwise, they
will remain
parked but ready
if needed.
Last
winter
authorities
relied heavily
on the
assistance of
the city fire
department when
the early
February blizzard hit
Lincoln. This
season, should such
an occurrence
arrive, they
will be better
equipped to
reach and assist
stranded
motorists.

In
this Sept. 19, 1982, photo, actor Harry Morgan sits on the set of
"M-A-S-H" in Los Angeles.
The Emmy-winning character actor whose
portrayal of the fatherly Col. Potter on television's "M-A-S-H"
highlighted a show business career that included nine other TV series,
50 films and the Broadway stage died Wednesday. He was
96.
Morgan appeared in mostly supporting
roles on the big screen, playing opposite such stars as Henry Fonda,
John Wayne, James Garner, Elvis Presley and Dan Aykroyd.
On television, he was more the comedic
co-star, including roles on "December Bride," its spinoff "Pete and
Gladys," as Sgt. Joe Friday's loyal partner in later "Dragnet" episodes
and on CBS-TV's long-running "M-A-S-H" series, for which he earned an
Emmy award in 1980.
Get your sleep! Staying up
until the wee hours to wrap gifts may not be a good
idea. If you can nap with your baby during the day, take
advantage of it, and both you and baby will enjoy the
holiday happy and rested.
