I need injury, pain and mayhem. Blood optional but helpful. No, I’m not doing publicity for Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I need athletes and recreational users who’ve been injured at places like Sparks’ Golden Eagle Park. A major television network is planning stories about “non-contact” injuries on artificial turf. Perhaps the most famous example happened to Ronnie Lott, the … [Read more...]
If Wishes Were Dimes
Whatever state you live in there are things remarkable. I am a Nevada girl, born, raised and living happily in a state of awe on each road I travel. There are things that come up of course when talking to people of Nevada. Las Vegas and gambling come to mind first and are very well known.

San Francisco slips to the edge of hell
Some whacko breaks into Nancy Pelosi’s gated mansion in San Francisco, brains her husband with a hammer, and yells “Where’s Nancy!” Paul Pelosi will make a full recovery and everyone sends their sympathies to the family.

Do something even if it’s wrong?

I know I dream about new. The biggest reason is that warranty. It is … [Read more...]
Polling Guru Predicts Likely Laxalt Victory

Bobbing for French Fries
I am a sponge for follytix. Spongebob Squarepants starts to drip this close to an election. However… Somewhere within the morass of Republican bravado, I found some relevant advice: Trying to talk reality with people deep into believing conspiracy theories only makes them retreat further into fantasy. Current polls agree that most voters made up their minds long ago and … [Read more...]
Putting My Yard to Bed
The only time I feel the tug of wanting to grow vegetables is in the fall. When my gardening friends are putting things in jars and freezers. Tomatoes are the biggest thing. Tomatoes become red mouthwatering sauces and soups. Salsas of varying degree of hot and spicy. Oh I too once did the tomato thing. Not all that successful I will admit. I did have some nice specimens to do … [Read more...]
