New Year Resolutions and Nevada Tales in One Page
A quirky column mixes Will Pungent style jokes about skipping resolutions with notes on Boulder City real estate in the Meadows Addition. It then shifts to a short story set in Las Vegas in 1930 and 1940 about love, moonlight, and an odd solitaire tale told by a desert prospector.
