I just noticed, and updated, yesterday's blog.
The fourth paragraph read get rick quick schemes.
I have a cousin named Rick but I don't think anyone is trying to get him, quick or otherwise.
I updated yesterday's blog and it now reads get rich quick schemes.

Maybe I should have left it alone? Although rick and rich have different meanings they are both nicknames for Richard.
My grandson's name is Nicholas. I think he gets a little cheated because his nick name is Nick. He should have something a little different, a little mysterious. If he was born and raised in Sweden or Norway it could be Olas. I was considering Neico but that's an acronym for National Emerging Infectious Diseases Coordination Office.
Aren't there rules for acronyms? Neico doesn't have a D. Seems to me that's the most important part of the entire thing. The office is coordinating emerging D-isease, not playing gin rummy.
Here's something else to think about, gin rummy. In old movies I've heard rummy used to describe a perpetual drunk. Gin is a liquor. Does anyone still drink gin, maybe in a Gimlet? (gin and lime juice). So, gin rummy, a drunk or a card game, you be the judge.
Considering there's no D in Neico I think it's a terrible acronym for an office that coordinates disease.
Over the years I have worn many hats and been known by many names. One of my favorite names is Otto. I love it's simplicity, the same forward and backwards. The same can be said for Bob but I've always thought Bob a little too harsh. No one has ever called me Otto, or Charley, or Chas.
I think nick names are a sign of affection, except Muffy which is just plain stupid. Muffy sounds like something you would use to mop the floor.
On his way to work this morning a Chevron refinery worker had a flat tire. Gas prices to rise. In a second incident a refinery worker had gas which he blamed on last nights meat loaf. Gas prices to rise.
You may know about this from yesterday's news.
A man dressed like what he thought would provoke a Bigfoot sighting in northwestern Montana was struck by two cars and killed.
The man was wearing a military-style "Ghillie suit" consisting of strips of camouflage fabric and was standing in the right-hand lane of a highway.
He was hit by the first car, according to the Montana Highway Patrol, then a second car hit the man as he lay in the roadway.
County officials said his motives were ascertained during interviews with friends and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests.
"He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch. I haven't seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him."
Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers.
Sasquatch was struck by vehicles driven by two girls, ages 15 and 17, who were unable to stop in time, authorities said.
It isn't very nice to speak ill of the dead but I can't help it. Standing in a roadway, in a forest like area, wearing camouflage, is really stupid.
The girls that hit him will live with this the rest of their lives.
An Australian man said he called the Qantas airline and waited for 15 hours, 40 minutes and 1 second before hanging up the phone.
He called Qantas at 7:22 p.m. Wednesday to confirm his travel arrangements and remained on hold until 11:01 a.m. Thursday while a recorded voice said an agent would speak to him "as soon as possible," the Sydney Morning Herald reported Friday.
''I wanted to find out what exactly they meant would be as soon as possible. I never got an answer. This is outrageous," he said.....but spending all that time on hold isn't?
Later he called back and was able to speak with a customer service representative who told him he was not booked for the flight due to a code error in the ticket booking.
Qantas apologized and said it is investigating the incident.
Fifteen hours forty minutes and one second is a really long time to wait. I think I'd have given up after twelve hours. When they haven't answered in twelve you can bet it's probably really, really busy.
An Ohio woman has confiscated the Xbox of her 15-year-old son who was hospitalized for dehydration after spending at least four days in his bedroom playing the Modern Warfare 3 video game.
Jesse Rawlins tells the NBC affiliate in Columbus that her son, Tyler Rigsby, emerged from his bedroom Tuesday morning after a marathon round of game-playing, and collapsed three times.
She says he became very pale and his lips turned blue."I was very scared. I thought he was going to die. He just fell over three times."......she wasn't scared the first two times, it was the third that got to her.
The TV station quotes an emergency physician at a children's hospital as saying dehydration can lead to decreased blood pressure and a lack of adequate oxygen to the brain......I think they both suffered from a lack of something to the brain and it was not from dehydration.
Rawlins, who says Tyler had only left his bedroom to use the bathroom, pick up snacks and take a quick shower, adds that both have learned a lesson the hard way.....I'm actually shocked the kid stopped long enough for a shower.
She says Tyler was shaken by the ordeal, and didn't complain about his punishment.
"The Xbox is gone," she says.
A woman who has been seen swimming in public pools while dressed as a mermaid said she is living out a childhood fantasy.
The 56 year old woman, (mermaid) said she wanted to be a mermaid as a child and she decided to spend this summer swimming in Portland pools while wearing her homemade fins, which were inspired by a woman she met a few years ago.
She is part of a 23-strong group known as The Northwest Mermaids, said she knows she isn't a real mermaid, but her 6 year old self would be proud.
"I obviously know the difference but it's just fun. It's freedom," she said. "If you don't do it as a child, why not do it as an adult? Who says that you can't?"......Hey, why not? As long as her 6 year old self doesn't pee in the pool, who cares.
