Workers have been tilling the field south of Genoa Lane near Highway 395. Typically, that's a precursor to planting garlic. Next step would be setting up the big sprinklers.
Genoa, Nev. — A town hall at Douglas High School on critical race theory was well attended on Thursday night. I think it’s exceedingly safe to say the vast majority of the folks who attended were against teaching it in the schools.

An alleged firebug was arrested up near Topsy Lane around 5:45 p.m. Thursday after reportedly setting three fires and attempting to light a fourth. Douglas had one, the Washoe Tribe and another and Carson had a third, which likely led authorities to the culprit. I expect to hear more today.

The Weather Service is putting odds on rain today between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., but since the weather doesn’t have a watch or a map, your results may vary. Expect mostly cloudy skies and a high temperature of 59 degrees with the wind out of the south at 10 mph shifting west this afternoon.
