I go into The Gun Store on Tropicana quite often. And guess who are always lined up out the door to shoot guns??? Foreign tourists, which a majority happen to have British accents. They seem to all leave laughing and smiling with their paper targets in hand like trophies.

Who inspects OSHA???

I hope it succeeds, but I just don't see it working financially. Then again as long as it's private equity and not government funds I wish them all the luck in the world.

Been called a lot of things before but never a tin hat guy. Anyway, NV Energy is now GIVING away free "smart t-stats" to go with the smart meters. I'm not sure, but I believe they will have the ability to control your thermostat from their office.

If so, thats why I don't want it.

"Supporters say the new meters' data feeds can help prevent grid overloads and cut utility companies' operating costs, as there would be fewer technicians driving around reading meters in person."

Does anyone actually believe this will lead to lower rates?

I give a crap because eventually if they deem you are using more than your "fair share" I can see them turning it off when the "deem" necessary.

I will pay the extra and opt out. Not for fear of "health" reasons, I think the meters are perfectly safe, but because I don't want NV Energy to be more of a "Big Brother" than it already is.

As long as it's private equity and no government funds I'm fine with it.

Q: Who used to live in the house pictured above?

A: Mobster Tony Spilotro

I am shocked, shocked to learn the NLRB sided with a union.
