There are only a handful of counties in America with only one township, and Nevada’s Churchill County is one of them. So I was honored to be invited to speak as Mark Twain at this year’s Lincoln Day Dinner at the Fallon Convention Center, hosted by the Churchill County Republican Central Committee.

Mark’s opening came easy, “With the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, my brother was appointed secretary to Territorial Governor Nye out in the Silverland, Nevada.”

And the closing came easy for Mr. Twain, “When I said goodbye to Nevada I knew I was saying goodbye to the most vigorous enjoyment of life I would ever be afforded. Those days were full to the brim with the wine of life, and there have been no others like them. I thank you for inviting me to dine with you this evening, so I shall close here with malice toward none and charity for all.”

PINE NUTS: Sneaky Legs, Jasper & Me
Sneaky Legs, Jasper and I turned thirteen and we were feeling our oats, so we concocted this cockamamie scheme to test our courage. Carrying a pick and two shovels on our bikes, we peddled along the railroad tracks that led out of Moraga into the hinterland. Once assured our privacy was secure, we bivouacked and went to work digging a tunnel between two ties, under the tracks. It was tough going and it took us several days to burrow a lair large enough for a body to wriggle into. And once we were satisfied with our work, it came time for Jun-Ken-Po, (Paper-Scissors-Rock) to determine which of the three of us would be first to get run over by a train and live to tell about it. I won.

Well, we were familiar with the train schedule by then and it came my time to meet the iron horse as it were. (If you’re thinking this is stupid, you’re right.)

Incline Village’s Championship Course ranked No. 17 recently in the top 50 on the Golfers’ Choice 2022 list.
“What an honor it is to be included in the Top 50 US Public Courses,” said Championship Course Director of Golf and Community Services Darren Howard in a news release. “I have played several of the Top 50 courses and we are extremely excited to be included with these great courses. To finish No. 17 overall, No. 2 in course conditions, and No. 3 in top layouts is very rare and just proves that we have an incredible team here that provides an incredible golf experience daily.”
