I have always believed that it’s better to have reasonable rules that can be enforced than overly stringent regulations that many find a way to get around. That belief has been confirmed living in Monaco Park apartments — and their evolving policies toward pets. When I first moved back to Las Vegas in August 2015, […]
Knights on Ice — Bogus Penalty Ends the VGK Sea...
From October 2017 till last night, I’ve written blog posts on 164 regular-season games and 26 playoff games and not once, win or lose, have I felt like the on-ice officials played a major role in the final score. That all changed last night in the VGK’s 27th playoff game in their short history, which they […]
Retiring to Nevada
Las Vegas is seeing an influx of retirees looking for a temperate climate. With a median home price of $300,000, it’s no wonder – retirees moving here from California can afford to downsize here. According to the recent United Van Lines National Movers Study, 29% of people moving to Nevada are coming for retirement-related reasons. […]
Knights on Ice — Hertl-ful Ending
After Game 5 in San Jose, Tomas Hertl stated that the Sharks were the better team and he guaranteed they would return to San Jose to play Game 7. Not only were his words somewhat true, as there will be a Game 7 tomorrow night, but he took matters into his own hands by scoring […]
Knights on Ice — A Reversal of Roles
In the last three games of this first-round matchup, the VGK have exploded out of the gates, scoring early and often and in the process chasing Sharks’ goaltender Martin Jones twice to a premature shower. Last night on the shoulders and skates of Tomas Hertl, who scored two goals and had his hat trick denied […]

The VGK may now have the biggest home-ice advantage of the 14 teams still left in the playoffs. They also may have the best goaltender among these 14 teams. Yes, in less than a week, two teams have already been eliminated. Last night, the odds-on favorite was swept. The Tampa Bay Lightning were widely predicted […]
Living Local — Clark County Public Schools: The...
This week’s topic was a hard subject to research. I don’t have children, those of most of my friends are grown (and very few were educated in the Clark County public schools), and although I was once married to a school teacher, she taught in Ohio, not Nevada. Luckily, The Nevada Independent, a first-rate online […]
The times, they are a-changin’.
After starting off the year at a very slow pace, real estate sales in the Las Vegas Valley are picking up. With interest rates .6% lower since November, buyers are no longer standing on the sidelines. Inventory is high with 7,091 single family homes on the market today – looks like the market is no […]

On Jan. 1, 2017, recreational marijuana became legal here in the state of Nevada. Lots of people now come to Las Vegas to get stoned. The San Jose Sharks got Stoned last night, but not in the way that would make them feel calm and relaxed, along with having a case of the munchies. Actually, […]

Las Vegas has always been noted for its buffets, where it’s all you can eat. The VGK have instituted the Hockey Playoff Buffet, where it’s not how much you can consume, but more like a test of how much hockey drama your heart, stomach, and blood pressure can possibly endure in a 2-1/2 hour span.
