Captain’s Log – Squirrel

Captain’s Log – Squirrel

I have this one friend…

Actually, funny story. That reminds me of a very dear friend of mine who used to joke that she got so old and cranky that she only had two friends left – Leanna and me. And then she died, so Leanna and I will joke from time to time that we only have one friend left. 

Sometimes I do feel that way, sort of like a loner. There are definite hermit tendencies the older I get. Lots of them, which leads me to time on the porch with Clio and the chickens instead of going to the Arts Council to join the Fallon Film Society, which really did sound fun, but then there was the sagebrush and the sunset calling, so home I went. 

Anyway, back to this friend. 

Well, now I can’t remember what the heck I was going to write about said friend. Neither is there any recollection of what in the world that whole train of thought even was. Nor of which friend I had in mind. A few days ago, this idea came to my head, so I hurried up and sat down and typed all that out and then got sidetracked writing stories and editing and figuring out layout for Lovelock and finessing Fernley… and, and, and. 

We were all laughing around the office yesterday, comparing notes of how we all have so many balls in the air right now we often come back to some task several days later baffled by what we had been doing and left lying there undone. Some of us are claiming age, but others are assigning to us personality flaws. 

Imagine. Being so organized and disciplined that you can look at another human, a coworker even, and cast aspersions.

So, while some of us spin these plates, and others tap their toes with impatience, we’ll all still be right here…

…Keeping you Posted.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

Anyone who knows Fernley KNOWS this is more of the who you are related to and know business in this town. VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
