Well skipidy-dipidy-doo-dahh! The POTUS gave another SOTU speech recently. Somehow I just couldn’t get into the Kum-Ba-Yah when he went off on how the “rich” are not paying enough (when the top 1 percent is already paying almost 40 percent of all Federal income taxes and the top 10 percent pay 68 percent of all Federal income taxes)…really? Harrumph!

Autumn has come gently this year with hot weather continuing into October. The leaves are finally turning color. At University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, Master Gardeners are often asked why leaves change color. Is the cold responsible?

Now that Autumn has arrived, it’s a great time to explore the areas east of Carson City. These trails and back roads can be impassable in the winter, muddy in the Spring, and too hot during the Summer. This time of year, though, the dry conditions and mild temperatures make it the perfect time to go. One of our favorite Fall rides is the off-road route up to Virginia City via the American Flat Toll Road. With the area’s fun and lively Old West history, this ride has started to become an annual event.
