The Community Awards luncheon was inspiring. It showed us how many dedicated people there are in this and surrounding communities who give of themselves and make life better for the rest of us (just like the 300 people who turned out to see if their bone marrow matched Cameron Hardy's ... we hope some did). Thank you.

During the presidential election campaign we'll hear many dire claims about how unpopular America is throughout the world, and how much we are hated by foreigners. Well, just back from a two-week trip to England and Ireland, I can report that much of the world's alleged anti-Americanism is the product of hype and exaggeration.
Wind farms won't solve Nevada's problems
Nevada's current budget crisis stems primarily from state government's inability to raise sufficient revenues to pay for ongoing operations during recessionary times. The traditional methods that Nevada uses to raise revenues work well during boom times, but are incapable of providing a steady cash flow during hard times.
I hope many Nevadans had a chance to catch Speaker Barbara Buckley's (D-Las Vegas) response to Gov. Jim Gibbons' radio address Thursday evening, regarding the budget predicament the state faces.

There's something a lot of Republicans need to learn, especially this year: Many voters don't vote with their heads, but with their hearts. The person they select on their ballot isn't always a logical choice, but an emotional one. So Republicans who can and do come to the absolutely logical conclusion that the November election is a choice between John McCain and Barack Obama need to understand that for a lot of conservative voters that logic simply isn't enough.

I have been shopping at roadside fruit stands and farmers markets forever it seems.

Three weeks ago, I wrote about following in the footsteps of my uncle, Pvt. Richard E. Daigle, in Italy for Memorial Day. He was a member of the First Special Service Force, an American/Canadian unit during World War II and was killed in 1943.
When talk turns to finding solutions to some of our society's most profound problems, including underperforming students, drug abuse and the proliferation of gangs, attention frequently focuses on finding more money for schools, teachers and law enforcement.

Those of us in the financial services business have been noticing how many new exchange-traded funds are being launched every month. I remember this happening with mutual funds back in the 1990s.

There's good news and there's bad news about U.S.-Cuban relations. Of course, that's the way it has been for decades, with the United States putting an embargo on Cuba because the Cubans had the nerve to defeat our surrogate army at the Bay of Pigs back when.
Happy Father's Day on Sunday, and Happy Flag Day on Saturday. Also, with all this excitement, we have the Rendezvous on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and train rides (with dads riding free) at the Nevada State Railroad Museum on Saturday and Sunday. Soooo, kill two birds with one stone, and take dear old dad out for a free ride on the train, and then to the Rendezvous and see "how it was" when he was a kid (just kidding). No excuse not to have a good time spending time with Dad.

No one likes a good fight more than our ubiquitous news media.
I went on a pretty impressive ride on Memorial Day. It was a memorial ride. Seventy five bikes showed. A procession of headlights and loud pipes that was at times two miles long, two bikes wide. The really impressive part of it was that all these bikes were riding together today in remembrance of one guy: Randy Olsen, who died on his bike recently. We were also there as a show of support to his wife, Lana.

Last August, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid told colleagues at a Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources hearing that "Everyone knows the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump is a dying beast," challenging them to "take the focus away from this dead project." Just last month Sen. Reid still was performing his last rites ritual on Yucca, declaring at a press conference, "I think (Yucca Mountain) is on its death bed."
U.S. equities stumbled into June, driven lower by negative news flow out of the financial sector, rising oil and natural gas prices, and continued fears about the state of the global economy, in my opinion.

It's fashionable these days to give our embattled governor a kick while he's down, and now even the national media and some of his former political allies are descending. He's brought much of that on himself, of course, with questionable behavior in his personal life and questionable decisions and statements in handling the affairs of Nevada.

I began hiking up King's Canyon Road about 10 years ago largely because of an old sketch I had seen of Hank Monk (immortalized by Mark Twain) driving a stagecoach pell mell down a steep mountain road with rocks and stones flung like spray from beneath the wheels of his swaying coach. The caption told me Monk's passengers had to have nerves of steel to make this harrowing trip down the mountain.
