I have lived in Pahrump for the last seven years. Due to my position at the Pahrump Valley Times I have tried to remain behind the lines, so to speak. In other words, out of the limelight. Recipe for avoiding risky bridges: Hold the Mayo When the bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, several people called me to see if I was okay, and I was in New York, standing in line at H&H Bagels at 80th and Broadway, which came as a disappointment to my friends, calling to commiserate about a tragedy, hoping for a good story ("I crossed that bridge 45 seconds before it went down, I felt it wobble"), but H&H is where I was, me and my St. Paul cell phone, waiting for cream cheese with scallions and three poppy-seed bagels. "I thought you were here," they said. 'No, I'm in New York," I replied. Dueling branches of government When Nevada's constitution was written, state government was very different from today. Governors were considered mere administrators. Policymaking was a legislative prerogative. It was a state of affairs that remained in place in Nevada until the 1950s, and the state was later than most in departing from it. Letters to the Editor |
