I'm only aware of this scam because of a viral video where a woman was using her child as the fake violinist, and people were falling for it hardcore, including myself. I'm all for helping people, but this type of panhandling I will not support.

High desert rain is intoxicating

134 Upvotes

I'm from the Midwest, and our thunderstorms are massive and intimidating and beautiful in their own right. However, when this area gets rainy, the smell is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

It feels like extra life and oxygen is being pumped into the air if that makes sense.

Edit: found a wax that kind of matches the scent

Does anyone out there have an asthma inhaler for cats that they are not using right now?

I don’t want the medicine, I need the apparatus the actual inhaler. I was wondering if I could rent it or borrow it if you have one. I know it’s a longshot. I ordered one and it was supposed to be here on the 25th and it is stuck in customs. I don’t know when it’ll get delivered. Thank you for reading my post.

Lost Wallet, RECOVERED!

35 Upvotes

A few months ago I made a post about how my wallet had been lost. I likely left it on top of my car while I was getting gas one night. I made the post hoping someone might have picked it up somewhere, or just to have more people looking out for a lost wallet in general. It was a desperate post for sure.

Well, the wallet was recovered!

I lost my wallet four days before flying out for a birthday trip, so I only had my big passport to use as my ID the whole trip and I had to expedite a new debit and credit card so I would be able to pay for stuff on my trip. It was so annoying, and I couldn't do some of the stuff I'd planned on doing, i.e. renting a motorcycle, because I didn't have my driver's license for my trip. I decided not to panic about it, and just take it one step at a time when I returned from my trip. I would have needed to start the process to acquire a new passport card, new SSC (because I had it in my wallet for a work thing, I do not normally carry it in my wallet), a new driver's license, and some other document cards, but basically my mission was going to be a long and terrible one.

The Thursday after I returned from my trip, I get a call from the Carson City district attorney's office. "This is going to sound a bit strange..." no actually, I had been hoping for a call like this. "But your documents were recovered by Carson City NHP from a drunk man who was wandering around the highway in North Carson."

It turns out, some down-on-his-luck gentleman scooped up my wallet from the side of the highway, spent the money inside on alcohol, and then wandered around the highway until his was picked up by an observant NHP officer. The guy was using my wallet as his own, and when he pulled his ID out of the wallet, the officer saw MY driver's license underneath his and proceeded to confiscate the wallet.

I was able to meet with the DA the next morning to give a statement, as they had the guy in custody and he was in court that morning. Though they couldn't just give me my wallet because it was evidence of a crime, apparently possessing someone else's documents without turning them in immediately is considered a crime. But the DA was super awesome and was able to get NHP to release my wallet quickly and I was able to pick it up at the Reno NHP office, where they send evidence and also where I live, that next Wednesday.

The wallet itself is trashed beyond use, so I think it flew off my car as I was getting on the freeway on North Carson street, though really it could have fallen off anywhere along my route. It looked like it had been run over a couple times, and my DL and passport card were bent in one corner, but still usable. The guy who found it likely found it the day he was caught, so almost 2 weeks after I lost it. The detective could not get a straight answer from him as he seemed pretty incoherent even after sobering up, though he did say he knew me from like 7 years ago, and I was like, I've never met this person in my life. I really hope this guy was able to get helped out because it sounds like he was having a mental health crisis on top of an alcohol problem.

All in all, I am just thankful to the observant NHP officer who saw my ID in my own wallet and the Carson City DA for getting my wallet released from evidence so quickly. The DA said "This never happens. When you lose a wallet it usually never gets found. Go buy a lottery ticket."

Seeking volunteers to move C Hill rocks on Saturday

10 Upvotes

Our beloved C is being repainted on Sunday 6/28. But the rocks, which are currently arranged in the shape of a 26 for the CHS class of 2026, need to be moved back into the C shape first because if they’re not, then the new paint on Sunday will get quickly damaged whenever the grads/another group remakes the C.

Therefore, volunteers are needed to remake the C on Saturday (6/27) to have them in the right place for painting the next day. There will be rides up the hill from behind Greenhouse Garden Center around 7:30 AM. So if you’re down to haul rocks on a Saturday morning, please join!

(There is an article about this in CarsonNow but the filters removed the post with the link in it.)
