One reason it took 36 years to make a 'Top Gun' sequel was waiting for the technology to be created to film the fighter jet flight scenes in real fighter jets. This is an interesting interview with camera jet pilot and aerial coordinator Kevin LaRosa about why it was important to make the movie as real as possible.
"[Director] Joseph Kosinski and Tom Cruise knew that this footage and the performances had to be practical, had to be real. There’s no way to act and show that kind of distortion in one’s face when you’re not feeling [g-force]...Most people will know the feeling of g-force from a roller coaster ... You might be feeling two g’s, but when you were in these F-18s, they were pulling up to 7.5 g’s."

Introducing: Generation We Podcast

We've got exciting news! We've rebranded our podcast and moving to a monthly format with interviews and wisdom from experts in the fields of education, health and wellness, thought leaders and more.

It's my hope that we will share with you on a monthly basis, tips and tools to help help teenagers (and their parents) and young adults navigate the many complex emotional, social, and career/financial challenges they face in life.

This month we're focusing on Emotional Freedom, the role of Dharma (our purpose in life) and the role of social and emotional education in our human development.

Please listen and subscribe so that you never miss an episode...we're available on Spotify (link below), Apple Podcasts, Google, Tune In and Stitcher. (And a technical note: during the course of the interview, you will hear the sound of me breathing...that's due to the recording level on my mic, which was set higher than normal--my apologies!)

Summer Fire Restrictions in Effect June 1, 2022

Summer fire restrictions will be in effect June 1, 2022, for the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District serving the communities of Incline Village and Crystal Bay, Nevada, until further notice. Current fire restrictions prohibit the use of solid fuel, which includes charcoal and wood. This also applies to the IVGID parks and beach charcoal grilling areas.

Please note that federal and state lands campfire restrictions may differ. Check the local fire restrictions pertinent to your location.

“As we enter another year of drought conditions, we want to remind folks to recreate responsibly while outdoors during the summer months and do your part to create and maintain your defensible space,” said Fire Marshal Jennifer Donohue.

This is also a reminder during Red Flag Warnings, all sources of outdoor open flame, including gas fire pits/grills and pellet grills/smokers are prohibited.

The National Weather Service (NWS) Reno issues Red Flag Warnings to alert land management officials and fire agencies when the potential of critical weather that could lead to wildfire activity. With our drought conditions and dry vegetation, we urge our citizens to check the weather before participating in outdoor activities.

PINE NUTS: A Most Charming Bird
There’s more to a Steller’s Jay than we know. My pet Jay, Huckleberry, has demonstrated over the past two days, two distinct emotions I didn’t know he, or any bird had.

First a little background, Huck was born in the summer of 2017 on my lower deck. I could see from the top deck that he was getting ready to fledge, so I spread a sleeping bag on the driveway below to soften his landing. He hit it squarely and looked up to me as if to say thanks, while his sisters took it on the chin. We’ve been pals ever since.

With the dire warnings about an early wildfire season this year, Tahoe Weekly has published our 2nd annual Wildfire Preparedness Guide full of tips on how to prepare homes, families, Go Bags, emergency information, and other helpful tips in our May 25 edition. A digital version is available as well.

Historic fight: Tahoe Keys battles invasive weeds with herbicides.
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — History was made this week as scientists and agency leaders gathered in the Tahoe Keys at Lake Tahoe to watch the application of herbicides as part of a massive effort to knock back aquatic invasive species.

Herbicides were applied to three sites within the Tahoe Keys on Wednesday, May 25, and will be applied to 10 other sites over the next week.
