Where’s Rick? There’s Larry!  #2

Rick Nielsen

Sighting provided by Kraig Nichols, Rockford, IL:

“Spotted Rick this morning at the Stop-N-Go on North Main Street.  It looked like he had a bottle of YooHoo in his hands.  I waited behind him in line for quite awhile.  He bought some lottery tickets, too, and made small talk with Leona.  She’s the nicest.  I think Rick thought so, too. They were so nice to each other and she wished him good luck on his lotto numbers.  I tried to ask him what numbers he picked before he turned to leave and he said, “I’ll tell you if you split your winnings with me?”  We laughed.  I am at work right now.  I told everyone I saw Rick at Stop-N-Go and they were like, NO WAY DUDE.”

“I was enjoying a nice Wednesday morning last week. I woke up early at about four a.m..  I grabbed my fishing pole, through it in my big black Ford truck, and headed to my favorite spot.  I’d like to tell you but it’s a fishing man’s secret.  I will tell you this:  There are great spots in Cherry Valley, IL. My friend has a back yard on the river there, I fish there. Many people do.  I like the bridge out there, too, near the Baseball Tap.  Sometimes I see people drinking under the bridge if the bar’s not open.

So,  at six o’ clock a.m., I drove on over across town to St. Peter’s Cathedral church in Rockford for morning mass.  I try and go at least three to four times a week, especially after fishing.  I wasn’t having a very good morning by the time mass was over and the sun was up.  I was like, “What the hell am I going to do now?”  I went back home and made some coffee but I slipped on the water– it was terrible.  

So, I grabbed my keys and headed downtown to Wired Cafe in Rockford, IL.  I like it there, I see everyone– and there he was, Larry!  I said, “Hi Larry!”, and sat down across from him to take some pictures with my iPhone.  I acted like I was playing “Angry Birds” on my iPhone–wow, what a fun game–but I wasn’t. I take pictures of everyone, every where, it’s my hobby.  I like photos. Rockford is a great place to be a photographer. Today, though, I scored a nice photo.  Some days I don’t.  

Maybe I’ll catch a fish tomorrow because today was a bust.”
