KRNV reporter Terri Hendry made this observation via Twitter during the mid-term election celebration’s in Reno: “At GOP headquarters at the Peppermill, FOX is on the TV. At Dem headquarters, it’s MSNBC. No surprises there.” Obviously, neither party has learned anything…

Stop trying to buy happiness. Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free. Love, laughter and working on our passions.

A Democrat friend of mine asked in an email: “What are you going to complain about if the GOP takes both the Senate and House?” I don’t think she expected the answer I gave her. “Plenty, since most Republicans in Washington DC are no better or worse than Democrats in Washington DC,” I responded. “The…

Senator Harry Reid told Reno’s KRNV in April 2014, “This is not over,” following the stand-off at the Bundy Ranch. He wasn’t kidding having introduced a bill to seize nearly 1 million acres of Nevada — including land involving the Bundy Ranch. “…Reid last month introduced legislation to withdraw 805,100 acres of federal land in Garden Valley and Coal Valley straddling…

With two ‘Chuck Allen for Washoe County Sheriff’ signs in my front yard, it is hard not to tell who I intend to vote for in the upcoming election. I know, have work with and genuinely like Chuck and that helped me come to my decision. But there is more. While I do not know…

This series of five short-stories is based on reoccurring ‘night terrors’ I’ve been having for the past few months. The way I’m figuring it — maybe, jus’ maybe — if I write it down and share it then it’ll go away. ‘Lives in Woods’ looked up at the gray sky as droplets of rain fell on…
