Even if my tv career in Reno was over tomorrow, I think I would rather look for a new job here than look for another tv gig elsewhere. I think that is saying a lot considering I only have lived here 5 months, and I really like being a weatherman. The biggest reason it would be hard to leave is that it is so beautiful and there are so many cool things to do. I hope I get to stay for a long time.

This is a little taste of what I have been up to.

The first big snow near the Thomas Creek Trail

My girlfriend (Stacey) and I at Tahoe.

A great hike in Hidden Valley Park.

Stacey thinking about the meaning of life....or wondering how the heck we will get down the mountain.

You can still fall into a drift wearing snowshoes. Either that or my sister is 4 feet taller than my girlfriend.

Everyone in Reno also seems ardently enthusiastic or obsessed about something like hot air balloons, classic cars, ribs, gambling, rodeos, Burning Man, wife beater shirts, meth, living in trailers. In fact, one might consider calling this the Biggest Little Freaking City in the World. You can’t really say Salt Lake City, Denver, or Cedar Rapids are freaking cities. You can’t say, “Dude, San Jose is freaking me out!” You can say, like dude, I just spent the night hanging out with this bowler from Michigan who wanted to snort coke off a prostitute at a brothel, then we played poker at a casino all night, then the next morning we went rafting and fishing on the river, then we spent the rest of the day at a bar hanging out with a biker, tattoo artist, painter, poet, transvestite, and lawyer on his lunch break who then gave her a ride back to her hotel on his Harley. I was all like, “This is one heck of a freaking city!”

According to Merriam-Webster, freak is an odd or seemingly pointless idea or capricious event, as in a freak storm. It is also a person having a physical oddity and appearing in a circus sideshow. In slang, it is a sexual deviate or drug user. It can also be an ardent enthusiast or someone obsessed with something as in a car freak or control freak. According to all these definitions, Reno qualifies as a freaking city. There really is no point to Reno. While Pittsburgh is a steel town and Portland provides sanctuary for emo’s, what does Reno really do besides make your skin dry? If Reno was a person, it would appear in a circus sideshow as the biggest little city in the world. I’d pay to see that. With legalized prostitution, a swinger’s bar on E 4th Street, and plenty of shoe stores, it is full of sexual deviates. Most all people in Reno are on drugs. How else do you explain all the California chain stores and restaurants?

Hey Pat, did your girlfriend dump you?

by Lola Location: California Border town on Mar 16, 2008 at 10:35 PM

Yah... Pat, why do you bother writing when you are conflicted. GO back to the park and sit in a snow drift. It's ok. We'll be fine without you. It's ohhhKaaay.

by Anonymous Location: Reno on Mar 14, 2008 at 03:58 PM

Why are all you people getting so worked up about the word FREAKING!?!?! And why are you putting everything in quotations!?!? Why don't you first GO BACK TO 2ND GRADE, then realize that there are far worse words than FREAKING! FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING FREAKING!

PAT...if you hate reno so much, then leave. We'll be fine without you.

I would rather be at Yosemite. Between tahoe & Yosemite. The casino & home. Both have "TRAFFIC." YOSEMITE DOSEN'T HAVE casinos, which I don't support. I've gone to Yosemite all my life. If I was going to spend on vacation it won't be nv. I don't beauty in nv. California beat nv by a long way. I love OAK TREES & WILD FLOWERS AT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. sage brush is weed!

Congrats on winning the poker tournament.

Right Natalie of Lovelock! Real ID is another expense illegals have created for Nevada.

by Rosie Location: Reno on Mar 5, 2008 at 12:28 PM

Dennis, you are not in SoCal. NV is Cowboy Country. Love where you live, but when in Rome, do as the Romans. In this case, do not Californiaize NV. Do so and State Income Tax next. Welcome BTW. 'Freaking'? How high school is that? LMBO
