📰 In the news
State-backed road safety effort: After two pedestrian deaths, Nye County Sheriff’s Office and Newvine Law are partnering to give out safety gear to improve visibility. The first giveaway happened February 23 at Walmart Pahrump — read the full story.
Community backs child advocacy: ACORN’s annual Crab Fest 2026 in Pahrump drew over 200 people and raised tens of thousands for foster kids, including $24,400 from tickets, plus auctions and a Hawaii vacation raffle — see how funds were raised.
Challenge to federal approval: The Timbisha Shoshone tribe and environmental groups sued in February over a mine expansion near Ash Meadows, arguing BLM overlooked risks to the Amargosa River Basin and Devils Hole pupfish — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Stitch something new: If your sewing stash needs a glow-up, A Piece Of Alaska Quilt Co.stocks fresh fabric, notions, and patterns, plus a rotating class calendar to nudge those WIPs across the finish line. Friendly and local, it’s dangerously inspiring for anyone who insists they’re “just browsing”… until the cart says otherwise.
Desert-ready deck fix: If your backyard craves shade for lazy afternoons or a quiet coffee perch, Pahrump Patio Covers crafts patio covers, porches, and Trex decks that stand up to desert heat, with clean designs, solid installs, and local pros who’ve perfected it over decades.
Sushi night, solved: Whether you’re craving pristine nigiri or a cozy spot to split a couple rolls and a bento, Sshiyong keeps things fresh without the Vegas fuss. Expect a low-key seafood fix and the kind of menu that makes ordering one more roll feel inevitable.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
