It’s that dreaded time of year again. Monstrous in magnitude. A mysterious ritual. Strange, scary, sinister, and spooky. Macabre and menacing. Dark and gloomy. Dastardly and disturbing. Gruesome and ghoulish. Frightful. Creepy. Petrifying. Even eerie. A wicked, morbid tradition that haunts our city annually.

Emergency personnel in Clark County estimate they respond to four accidents each day involving bikes, e-bikes, or e-scooters.

In 2013 he was sentenced to the “bad boy” room in the Nevada Legislature. Next year he’ll have the best office in the building, including his own private washroom and a dozen political handmaidens at his beck and call.
I feel like a kid again. I’m giddy with excitement and can barely contain my enthusiasm.
As I have written before, bullying cannot be considered a part of growing up because it is quite often the case the bullies themselves do not grow up.

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years.
