1. Lost Keys

“Just wanted to share a positive story about our community. I put my keys down at the SV DG (Dollar General) unknowingly. On my way to the car, I realized I didn’t have them. Was going to have to backtrack, but I checked with the clerks at the register. One didn’t know, but another retrieved them! Thank God! They were at the last place I stopped.

There are still good and honest people in the world no matter where you go. I’ve had similar stuff happen multiple times with my phone and keys in this town and most places, and have usually gotten them back. What you put out there always comes back multiplied!!” — Sara Jerpseth-Glendinning (via Facebook)

About the 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 'The Wheel of Time' on Amazon Prime, 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.

His favorite BBQ food is smoked & salted beef brisket, his favorite painter is Piet Mondrian, and his Hogwarts house is Ravenclaw. He loves using em dashes, and swears by the Oxford comma.
