LIMITED, BABY!!!

Melissa is heading over the hill today, a euphamism people in Reno use to describe the two-hour drive over the Sierras and down into the Sacramento Valley. This trip is happening because the poor girl has been without access to a Limited since moving to Reno. The Limited, I am informed, is some sort of clothing store. Apparently Reno does not have one, which is a fact that I have recently found to be the source of considerable frustration to Mel and her friends. They find it bitterly ironic that Reno does have a Limited Too (an offshoot of The Limited that apparently specializes in clothes for young girls) but not an actual Limited. At least it's a nice day to drive over the mountains--the cold and rainy weather pattern of the last few weeks which brought late-season snow in the higher elevations seems to finally be moving on, and the Sierras are rarely more beautiful than on a sunny day after a snowstorm.

By the way, I must call your attention to an important change. As a public service, this blog has been posting the Reno Hilton's Color-Coded Threat Level in a permanent spot underneath the 'Links' section to the left. Last night I noted that the Hilton changed the threat level indicator from Red, White and Green to Hot Pink. Make all necessary adjustments.
