Sagehen Mesa - Part 9 - Cliff Mahon Weighs In

Image
 My name is Cliff Mahon, a Sagehen Mesa native, and it's time I set the records straight. I know a lot of people around town are bad-mouthing me and making assumptions about my marriage and family. A lot of it is a bunch of B.S. put forth by a bunch of lame-brains, high-and-mighty gossips, and newcomers who don't even know me.  Yeah, I'm not afraid to speak my mind and I don't care who hears it.

We got to talking and reminiscing about old times, having some laughs over the fools we used to be, and a fondness for the old coot rekindled - just a bit, mind you.
