A: The most generally accepted answer is that
small creatures, such as fish or frogs, are sucked up
high into the air by either very strong thunderstorms
or tornadoes, McRoberts explains. “Over the ocean, a
waterspout — a tornado that forms over water — can
produce strong enough winds to carry small fish into
the air. There are instances of some of these creatures
being carried long distances because there was no
water nearby. Maybe one of the strangest occurred in
1877 when The New York Times reported that several
small alligators had fallen from the sky onto a South
Carolina farm, and in August of 2001, the Wichita,
Kansas, area experienced rain mixed with comhusks,
some of them 30 inches long.”

the Little
Water
It’s not an Olympic sport, but team shopping is
an excellent way for retirees to cut their grocery
bills. The Association of Mature American Citizens
recommends getting together with a good neighbor or
friend to make a list of items that can be purchased in
bulk on weekly grocery outings and then shared.
Another way to save money is to prepare meals in
advance, on paper, before going to the supermarket,
listing the ingredients and the quantities you’ll need.
This way you’ll avoid the costly mistakes of over
stocking and impulse buying.
Two-in-one meals will also reduce your grocery bill.
For example, the leftovers from Monday night’s roast
chicken dinner can provide the makings for a tasty
chicken salad lunch on Wednesday.

TAPS Public Transit will begin accepting calls on
Friday, August 1, at its new TAPS Access call center
in Sherman.
TAPS zAccess is the recently formed unit that will
manage a call center and driver operation to provide
transportation for Medicaid members.
The agency has hired a staff of over 100 —drivers,
call center agents, and supervisors— to provide Non-
Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services
to the estimated 55,000 eligible Medicaid recipients in
a 16-county region in North Texas.
TAPS Public Transit was awarded a contract with
the Health and Human Sendees Commission (HHSC)
for an initial 36-month period starting in August.
The contract covers zArcher, Baylor, Clay, Collin,
Cooke, Cottle, Fannin, Foard, Grayson, Hardeman,
Jack, Montague, Wilbarger, Wichita, Wise and Young
counties.

There are benefits to growing old. For example,
many restaurants, including both franchise and
local stand-alone eateries, offer discounts to seniors,
according to the zAssociation of Mature zAmerican
Citizens.
But, too often, they don’t advertise the fact, so ask
your waiter or waitress when placing your order.
Even those establishments with no specific policies
regarding senior discounts are apt to make an on
the spot decision to reduce your final bill by five to
ten percent if you ask. Restaurants thrive on repeat
business and offering a break to seniors is one way to
turn you into a repeat customer.
It’s the same at supermarkets and other chain stores,
says zAMAC. Some even have special days when
seniors get discounts. Meantime, you can go online
and search the Web for “senior discounts” before you
go out; you’ll be amazed at the variety of reduced
price offerings that are out there for older Americans.
0: We know it’s not possible to rain cats and
dogs, but sometimes you hear about frogs and other
animals coming down from the sky. Is this possible?
A: It is, and it’s happened many times throughout
history, says Brent McRoberts of Texas A&M
University. “There are reports of it raining frogs, fishes
and even snakes going back almost 2,000 years,”
McRoberts says. “In the past 300 years, many of
these have been carefully documented and witnessed
by hundreds of people. Most of these have involved
frogs and fish, but others have seen such things as
com, snakes, flowers and other materials. In 1873, it
was reported that parts of Kansas City were covered
with frogs that had dropped from the sky. In 1997, a
Japanese fishing vessel was sunk by one of several
cows falling from the sky, in an almost unbelievable
tale that was later verified by the Russian Air Force.”
