Leaves

This is a story about history and Hollywood. Art imitating life. Often times when the two met, history took a back seat to hype and drama in order to insure good attendance at the box office. This time however, the story was so good, and so strong, that not even Hollywood could screw this one up. The year was 1950 and the film was titled: “Mister 880.” It was based on ten years in the life of Emerich Juettner, who was also known as Edward Mueller.

A celebration of life will be in Dayton on Saturday, March 23, 2013 for Delpha Irene Schmitt Wilkison, who passed away March 15, 2013 in Carson City, Nev. She was 81.

Sam Davis was a Sagebrusher from the old school who backed up what he wrote. It was a tradition he learned on the Comstock. You could write what you wanted, but you had to back up what you wrote.

Sometimes it takes a while to get the big picture, to see things coming into focus. Now, I am not much for conspiracy theories, but if anything looks like it is being driven by design, this is one. The theories driving it were formulated many lifetimes ago. The people whose sick minds spawned them are long dead. For the life of me I do not understand how any egomaniac could possibly get his jollies from a trend he might have started but maybe not even his great-grandson might see coming to fruition. But there it is, a hundred year timeline on several fronts.

The leaves fell. The wind blew. Then the snow came. A dusting of it anyway. Carson City woke up to frosty roads this morning and the National Weather Service in Reno says winter conditions will stick around through tomorrow.
As the storm system continues to move into the region, the valley floors of western Nevada may see some of the Lake Tahoe snow blowback. Possibly inches of it.
The weather service reports the cold and unstable nature of this weather system favors the development of narrow heavy snow bands, which can produce significantly higher snowfall amounts over a small area.

A batted ball comebacker to a pitcher is the single most dangerous situation in baseball that results more often than not in serious injury.

Can enough steps be taken to protect the pitcher in baseball from a batted ball comebacker that they cannot react fast enough to? Most pitchers throw a pitch with their follow through momentum turning their body to one side, on one foot, leaving them completely vulnerable and mostly defenseless to a screaming batted ball coming right at them.
