Image by Joel M. Williams
Several days ago, I showed what the simple roundabout at Central-N.M. 502 proposed by Los Alamos County Public Works and selected by Los Alamos County Council in 2012 has “morphed” into … a land-gobbling mammoth. It seems appropriate now to envision how this roundabout will operate.

Cognitive Dissonance – The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.
As a small child, I remember taking sips from my dad’s beer at every opportunity I could; I watched him get drunk countless times and scare me with who he would become. I took a drink so that I could be more like him.
I remember the first time I took a chew of Copenhagen; a guy with half his face gone had recently spoken at the school about the dangers of tobacco. I took a chew and thought, Read More
