Google maps said it was 55 minutes - usually pretty close

not sure if there is a rush hour in Vegas - never done any driving there

I have a buddy that lives there, he either drives or I grab a cab

buddy lives on a golf course, but he doesn't play.

I'd guess I'll never get to coyote springs, but it's a nice thought

There will be no large crowds at any Rutgers University home football games, if there are games in the fall, the school announced Monday.

The announcement covers all athletic events held at school facilities for the immediate future. It was not clear in the school's announcement whether the directive will apply beyond the fall.

"All Rutgers Athletics venues will operate in accordance with the executive orders issued by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy limiting outdoor gatherings to 500 people or fewer. All safety precautions will be in place for those individuals who will be in attendance.

"We understand and support the Governor's decision based on health and safety guidelines. Athletic department officials will continue to monitor any changes to public health guidelines and adjust accordingly.''

Could sell like 200 tickets per game for helmet schools, maybe auction them off.

The kids on the teams, the coaches, staff, managers, trainers, doctors, officials, TV cameras, etc. would probably be at or very near 500 people.

It might be right, I suppose. I haven't driven from Coyote Springs to Las Vegas, specifically. You can fly down that great basin highway. 

The traffic there is not awful. More like Ohio, where it might slow to a crawl, but it rarely grinds to a complete and total halt, like it does in Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, California, etc. Even on the strip, it moves. Slowly but surely. 

There is only one interstate across, I-15, running north and south. There is no East/West Interstate, but there are a few interior freeways around town. But mostly long streets with a lot of lanes and a lot of lights. 

There is a cool back way to Moapa that takes you over Sunrise Mountain and then along the north shoreline of Lake Mead. But they charge a fee to go that way if you don't have a pass.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — At least eight people were injured, including one critically, when someone in a passing vehicle began shooting early Sunday into crowd in Omaha.

A 15-year-old girl, Paduey Jock, sustained a life-threatening injury in the shooting about 5:15 a.m., the Omaha World-Herald reported. A spokeswoman for the Nebraska Medical Center said she remained in critical condition Sunday afternoon.

The teen was in a crowd of about 100 people outside when someone in a gray minivan began firing. Seven other people were also injured by gunfire during that incident.

A total of 14 people in incidents involving five shooting scenes went to Omaha hospitals for treatment between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Two were injured in vehicle collisions involving gunfire, two were shot while driving, one person was shot walking, and one was shot after getting into a dispute with another driver.

I dunno. There are towns around Chicago where a home builder will pay $150-200K in permit fees, connection fees and inspection fees. Call them hidden sales taxes, if you will, since the home buyer pays them all.
I've no doubt that's the case. I'd be interested to know which towns, just as a means to get a clearer feel. 

But the theory still kinda has a hole. If it was the case that raising taxes in turn raised wages and property values, then all governments would find ways to drive them actually sky high. Now there are probably certain feedback loops involved (companies exist around people, people demand something livable, etc.), but that only works when demand to live somewhere stays high. 

bwarbiany kind of nailed it, but you delivered a key follow up. In theory, the high taxes and high housing prices push money/businesses into cheaper places. To a degree this is a net good. But it only works if demand to live in Chi or SF or NY can be staunched in some way, and for the moment, it's not there yet.

Lol. I thought the same thing as I read it.  Thanks for clearing that up, Rutgers.

I go way back with Rutgers. I would never disrespect them by talking their “s.” Those of us who grew up on Eastern Independent football are allowed to make fun of them but when you bullies in the Big Ten do it it’s piling on. 😉

so a federal judge that was assigned to Jeffrey Epstein case 4 days ago has her son shot and killed and her husband shot and in critical condition after a fake FedEx driver shows up to her house and pretends to deliver a package only to whip out a gun and blast them away. 

What happens to this assassin? He “shoots” himself, just like Epstein “hung” himself. 

I’m not one for conspiracy theories but HOLEEEE shit. This Epstein shit is like a movie. Wouldn’t believe any of it if someone told me about it. I’d say ya go screw yourself you lunatic. Jesus.

If she had died, it would have just about no actual impact on the case. The "assassin" was by many accounts a kinda disturbed and damaged man. 

People by nature are good at seeing patterns if they're there or not. The conspiracy nonsense around that guy, lordy.
