Black Friday is all about putting companies in the black, a good shot in the arm for the national economy.

Here are some random tidbits on domestic violence I bet you didn't know:

According to the Nevada Domestic Violence Resource Manual, most victims of domestic violence leave their abusers — often several times.

Hello Carson City and welcome to Monday, Nov. 5, 2018. The beginning of the work week promises sunny skies and seasonable temperatures, with highs in the mid to upper 60s. With the time change now in full swing and the sun rising earlier, it's always good practice to keep your windshield clean and clear and to be mindful of those intersections, streets, crosswalks and sidewalks where the rising sun shines especially bright.

Take advantage of the extra daylight while it lasts. Saturday is the final day of the year for Daylight Savings Time. Be sure to "fall back" one hour on your clocks Saturday night into early Sunday when Standard Time takes over.
