What is one thing you NEED but cannot afford?
Sun Valley resident Melissa Gamwell asks: “What is one thing you NEED but cannot afford right now?”
Author: Richard Barnet
A former resident of Carson City, Reno, and Sparks, Richard finally saw the error of his ways and moved his family to Sun Valley, Nevada to live the good life. He finds Sun Valley intriguing, and loves this magical place more than words can describe.
Richard, a Scorpio, currently enjoys playing Star Trek Fleet Command, watching 'Rosewood' on Hulu, and listening to crazy genres of music on Spotify—including classical. (Whoa.)
While most people either dislike Sci-Fi films entirely, or they vehemently prefer Star Wars to Star Trek (or vice versa), Richard loves both Star Trek and Star Wars—equally.
Richard loves using em dashes, and swears by the Oxford comma. His favorite BBQ food is smoked & salted beef brisket, his favorite painter is Piet Mondrian, and his Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw.
