Letter to the Editor – June 2024

I am more anxious than usual the night before an anticipated trip to an open mine in one of our local Sky Island mountain ranges. The next day’s drive proves to be anticlimactic. Though the road is severely rutted, and the falloff steep and menacing, our tippy side-by-side is in very capable hands. The mine is a wonder, a labyrinth of digging, all stopes and drifts. I decline an opportunity to take a rope assisted scramble down an incline shaft.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.
