Spotting

Death of Records-Newspapers in peril
It is with my deepest regrets that I inform you that our region's news worthiness has yet to be completely recorded or archived. While there are some straight paths to the Inyo Register's 135-year-plus history, Mono County's newspapers of record haven't been recorded-not completely. Archiving newspapers in Mono County has always been a catch-as-you-can proposition, lending a certain mysterious air to the large gaps in our printed history. Lois just thought you should know....
Eastside Magazine Blazes New Trails
Spring 2008 was "Eastside-Inspired Mountain Living" magazine's coming out party. Publisher, Nils Davis has always inspired many of us to go places (he started around here with his Tuff Rock Festival posters), and he's inspired us to do things. It came as no surprise to me that he put in print some very good climbing, photography, and resident experts. I would add, I enjoyed reading about the night on the town-Bishop style. You just missed the killer margaritas at La Casitas....
Core Values: Lois' Observations
Humblings happen often
Get-to-it-ness abounds in most
Elders endure gracefully
Youth is grounded in landscapes
Realities happen quickly
"Beautiful" is a common thought
Art is everywhere, just feel it
Time is a relative thing up here
LATE NEWS
The US Stock Market took a whooping today, unlike any in recent memory. At one point it was down more than 300 points, and black gold=OIL, Shot Up Like a Freak$#* Rocket. A $10-plus a barrel increase over yesterday's close. The new price will hit us about August-and that will shoot the crA% out of our vacation plans.
Also-The Inyo Council of the Arts presents Stephen Ingram's new book, "Cacti, Agaves, and Yuccas of California and Nevada," on June 7, at 7 p.m. at the ICOA theater on Main Street in Bishop. This should be a wonderful slide show, as Stephen's images of the desert are phenomenal.
