Funny Papers Again Column | Can We Consider a Conscientious Crossing Consensus?

Window on the World Column | Regret for the Things That You Do Not Do

Lucy Jensen
We should go, shouldn’t we? Shouldn’t we go? Life happens when you are busy making other plans. And isn’t that always the way. My mother-in-law, who had been suffering with Parkinson’s and dementia at my sister-in-law’s house in Oregon, had taken a bad fall...

Letter to the Editor | Great Fair Coverage of Short Track Race

To the Editor: This time last year I wrote to express my disappointment that the Rustler had not given the Ricky Graham Memorial Short Track Race any coverage; not one word, not one photo. You published my letter and in an Editor’s Note explained that you...

Window on the World Column | Mapping Through Nevada and Into Idaho

Lucy Jensen
Crossing Nevada is similar to my memory of crossing Texas. It goes on forever. And just when you think it has to end, it carries on. Acres of mining, solar panels and corrections. Electricity poles line the freeway for miles, as if there were...

Funny Papers Again Column | Tempest Has Fugited So We Are Fallin’ Again

Steve Wilson
We are now nearly two weeks into Fall, the equal hours of day and night took place Sept. 23 and will daily see the hours of darkness increase while, alas, daylight will lessen. We now fall head long into the what is known as...

Worthy to Print Column | Friends and Mom’s Wisdom

George Worthy
One time a long time ago I asked my mom for a quarter. She said she was sorry, but she didn’t have any money that day. I can’t remember why I needed a quarter, but I bet it was for candy. I always wanted...
