It would seem they also need some copy editors, as well. Not that I'm questioning the tallent of the sports staff itself.

They had an ad a couple months ago for another opening and there was a typo in there. Must be a trend.

On another note, I wonder where Tim, the current SE, is off to. He's always seemed like a nice guy when I've talked to him.

This paper is one of the few smaller ones not on a bare-bones staff, although VV isn't the best of places.

But its only a half-hour from Tahoe. And they do have a lot of tallent on their staff.

 

[Tom Petty]

the vick grows hungry ... and it will underpay.

 

[terrier]

It's actually closer to Vegas than Tahoe. My sister-in-law lives out there.
If your system can't handle High Desert heat, avoid.

Half hour from Tahoe? It's a half hour from Barstow. Not quite Tahoe.

 

[buckweaver]

Of course. Half hour to Barstow, but 15 minutes to Tahoe. :D

 

[MileHigh]

Exactly. And as for the heat, I read it's supposed to be 110-115 there this week.

 

[Editude]

Set your clocks by the warm wind stirring things up each afternoon about 1 or so.

i was somewhere near victorville when the drugs began to take hold... :o

 

[Jim Rockford]

101 degrees at 12 noon according to the weather service. Not the place to be in California.

 

[2underpar]

is that any worse than 95 degrees and 80 percent humidity in the deep south?

 

[MileHigh]

101 degrees at 12 noon according to the weather service. Not the place to be in California.

Actually, I think Death Valley would be the place to avoid in California.
It's 117 there now.
Forecast to hit 130.

Yes, 40 miles west, it's 110 degrees at 3:30.

Palm Springs and environs are expected to hit 121 today.

 

[Htown]

I know the area very well. While I wouldn't want to live there, it's still much better than the middle of bumf**k Arizona. At least you can be in Huntington Beach or Newport in 45 minutes - on the weekend anyway.

 

[Left_Coast]

You and a million other people. More like 80 minutes from that side of Cajon Pass.

 

[thebigd]

A person by the name of Kris Reilly is the new SE. They arer lkooking for a writer/desk person

 

[luckyducky]

Reilly was the ASE before the SE left, looks like he got promoted.

And longer when you're going back up, especially if you take I-15 at the wrong time of day.

And speaking from experience, since they've closed 138 between the 15 and Wrightwood, there's more cars to deal with.

That's because everyone heading to the Antelope Valley has to go up the 15, through the pass, exit in Hesperia and head through Phelan to pick up the 138.

Royal, ROYAL pain in the ass. Took me 2 hours to get home from Rancho Cucamonga the other day. Effiin' ridiculous.

Yikes. I heard about the 138 being closed because of moron drivers on that stretch putting the workers in some really dangerous situations. I haven't done the drive in years, but would it be about the same time/maybe shorter to take the 210 and go to the AV on the 14?
