Shot in Nevada
Hold on, don’t get the wrong idea. I
don’t mean shot, as in the gunslingin’ cowboys of ol’
Nevada. Nor am I referring to the mean streets of new
Nevada. The “shot” I’m talking about was done with a
camera. Yup, that’s what we want, anything that was shot
in Nevada...... |

Protecting Your Pet In The Summer
Most people think nothing of putting
their dogs in the back of their pickup truck or car and
hitting the road to the lake or just shopping. What many

Viewpoint on Vegas: April 25,
2008
In 1495 the Roman Catholic Church allowed
those who pay a fee to consume butter during fast days.
It is believed that monies collected from this “butter
tax” paid for the construction of a part of the
Cathedral of Rouen that came to be known as the “Butter
Tower.”.......
