Home Means Nevada

Home means Nevada.
Home means the hills.
Home means the sage and the pines.
Out where the Truckee's silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines.
Home means the land that I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the Golden West
Home means Nevada to me.

Happy Nevada Day!

Well almost...it's technically the 31st of October, but certain misguided citizens voted a few years ago to designate the last Friday in October so as to get a three-day holiday. So Friday is the holiday, but Saturday is the parade in Carson and the 31st is a few days away...so I guess we can just regard it as one long party. I'm happy because it gives me more time to go around humming our state song!

Happy 143rd birthday to my favorite state. I'm proud to be a Nevadan.
