Weekend Update

HUNTER TAKES BUCK, COPS ABOUND
A hunter shot a local 4-point buck somewhere between Peri Ranch Road and Canyon Way last weekend. Authorities were alerted by a citizen who heard the shot(s). Sheriffs from Washoe County were first to arrive, followed by Fish and Game wardens and Storey County Sheriff deputies. The hunter was detained on scene while the proper licenses and deer tag were checked. Then everybody went home.

NEW SEWER BACKS UP, HOUSE FLOODED
Workers on the new sewer system in LLC are rumored to have left open something that caused the plumbing in one LCC unit to back up and overflow into the house. The house was closed for a short time due to the unsanitary conditions. A Urban Disaster company was hired and cleaned up the mess. The smell has dissipated, after several days of putrid emission.
Several neighbors have remarked at the liability cost to the construction company. Meanwhile the work goes on to the detrement of car finishes and community quiet. It has been offered that it will be over by the New Year's Day 2010. Holding your breath? Me too. And not just for the smell.

PURPLE RIBBONS APPEAR
Someone has put up purple ribbons on local trees and other street furniture. Purple is a color of rememberance. Was this for Eileen Pruitt?
Inquiry thus far has yielded no clear message behind this gesture. Anybody know what this is about?
