The sky is clear all morning. Then around 3 p.m. the clouds start stacking up dark over the mountains, the wind kicks up, and 10 minutes later it’s coming down sideways. Hail is ticking off the windows and the street out front is already running like a creek.

In the past few years, I have had three yard signs stolen: two from the Food Forest at the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos, and just last week, a sign was stolen from the Pollinator raised bed at the Los Alamos Co+op Market. This last sign was stolen sometime between mid-day Wednesday June 10 and mid-day Friday June 12, the two days that I was able to work on the raised bed.

The first sign stolen from the Unitarian Church was a “Black Lives Matter” sign, which we have now replaced with a painted mural on a utility box in the center of our parking lot. The second sign, stolen Read More
