: I have 30-year-old citrus trees in my backyard on flooder/bubblers and I can’t tell if they are overwatered or underwatered? They were planted before I bought the house three years ago. The tangerines are green and splitting. The Meyer lemon seems healthy with new leaves on the lower branches but the leaves are turning yellow and I am not sure if it is due to fall.
Clocks are not top of mind for most of us. It’s only at this time of year when we turn our clocks back, and then again in the spring when we go forward, that we actually give them any thought. As an accessory and work horse in our lives, poor clocks are not given their fair share of attention.
: We are from California and just moved into a new house. The problem is that the water in Southern Nevada is different. My skin is dry and itchy right after a shower. I understand that a water softener is in order, so I bought one that uses salt at a home center and am ready to install it. Fortunately, we have a loop in the garage and I have sweated copper a few times before. Is there anything to look out for?

* LAKE MEAD — Striped bass are keying in on shad. Anglers are seeing boils in the morning hours in the Vegas Bay arm and along the beaches from Hemenway to Boulder Harbor. They are catching stripers from 2 to 6 pounds and catfish as large as 5 pounds. To be legal, a shad net can have a radius no larger than 3 feet.

While fishing at Lake Mead recently, I couldn’t help but notice the crowd that squeezed together at the end of the fishing pier that reaches into Boulder Harbor, where Lake Mead Marina used to be.
