Nevada
Nevada, nevada
The dream of every girl
Nevada, nevada
The acorn of the squirrel
Ladies falling from the treetops
Calling out in heavens name
Parachutes of dresses
Saving every dame
Nevada, nevada
The dream of every gal
Nevada, nevada
The helper and the pal

Silver State
Nevada.. battle born she was
A rightful triump for the unions cause
For her wealth both sides would fight
Hoping they could win her might
In her silver weighed her worth
This brought fourth Nevada's birth
So when her country made the call
She helped bring freedom to one and all
We still stand ready to do what's best
This silver state from the wild wild west.
'closing thought'
Trust the battle not always to the one so strong
For without support of many they don't last long

The Water Ouzel
Little brown surf-bather of the mountains!
Spirit of foam, lover of cataracts, shaking your wings in falling waters!
Have you no fear of the roar and rush when Nevada plunges --
Nevada, the shapely dancer, feeling her way with slim white fingers?
How dare you dash at Yosemite the mighty --
Tall, white limbed Yosemite, leaping down, down over the cliff?
Is it not enough to lean on the blue air of mountains?
Is it not enough to rest with your mate at timberline, in bushes that hug
the rocks?
Must you fly through mad waters where the heaped-up granite breaks them?
Must you batter your wings in the torrent?
Must you plunge for life and death through the foam?

I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values - even if they rarely talked about them.

Violets...Dandelions and Drought
My Front Yard…in Las Vegas Nevada
A hostile environment
A parched arid place
A Mars-like landscape
A few hardy weeds embrace
Dandelions struggle
For meager existence
Gripping dry, parched earth
With desperate persistence
undauntedly turning
Golden faces to the sun
Asking no quarter…
And Nature gives none
Almost unnoticed
In the early Spring breeze
Small timid blue blossoms
Barely rise to dandelions knees
This is my front yard
In a Drought stricken place
Where a few gilded dandelions
Maintain tenuous grace
As if standing sentinel
Over tiny violets of blue
Shepherds over sheep
Of cobalt hue
Lenticular clouds
devoid of rain
Rolling out of the red mountains
Tumbling o’er the plains
Days will grow longer
Nights will wane
The sun will grow stronger
And swallow the rain
And still the weary dandelions
Will stand strong and true
In unspoken communion
With tiny Violets of blue
Indian spirits, Dust devils
Botanic bravada
in my front yard…
In Las Vegas…Nevada

As I said in my state of the state address, we can no longer rely on gaming and sales taxes to pay our way. Indian gaming next door in California is eroding our major industry in Nevada.
