He left office in disgrace after a highly publicized affair with his Argentine mistress. He told his staff and the press he was “hiking the Appalachian trail” in June 2009 when he was in fact visiting his mistress, in Argentina.

He was considered a potential 2012 Republican presidential contender before a scandal ended his political aspirations.

Instead of doing the honorable act of resigning from his political office, he refused this option and finished his term as governor, leaving office in 2010.

This is a story that has been flying under the radar for a few months now, told to me in confidential discussions with city officials. But it looks like a newspaper in Twin Falls, Idaho has put the story out in the open, since that community is also vying to land the facility.

This is a prequel to the first two go-arounds and while it has its share of things that go bang in the night, it is more confusing than amusing or scary.

Do you have apples ripening on your tree? A local group of volunteer fruit foragers would love to come by and pick the ripening fruit.

Yes, the earth was moving last night. Looks like a 4.7 earthquake struck at 11:37 p.m., 23 miles north of Truckee, but we felt it down here, too. The quake originally measured 5.2 by U.S. Geological Service, but was downgraded to 4.8 shortly afterward, and they now say it was 4.7.

There were a few aftershocks, including a 2.5 and 2.4 soon after the main quake, and this morning there was a 1.4 aftershock.
