Fr. Glenn: Time For A Fix
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Busy, busy, busy. It seems that we are so busy in our day-to-day. Jobs, kids … family and friends obligations. Yet frequently our time is filled with events and obligations that we make ourselves and yet are not particularly important in the scope of our lives.

While there are no guarantees when making an offer, the list below includes strategies we believe will help maximize your chances of success.
Negotiate your Broker Commission and sign a short time period agreement prior to engaging a broker. Ask your broker how to terminate your agreement if you want to change brokers.

McQuiston: What Exactly Is Road Rage?
By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Serving Los Alamos Since 1963
Road rage isn’t just getting mad behind the wheel. It refers to aggressive driving that escalates into intentional actions — brake-checking, tailgating, shouting, blocking other cars, or even causing a collision on purpose.
When things go from annoying to aggressive, insurance companies treat it very differently than a typical fender bender.
How Road Rage Impacts Your Insurance
Here’s where it gets serious:
If you’re found to have intentionally caused an accident — even in a heated moment — your insurance may not Read More

By Rabbi Jack Shlachter
Los Alamos Jewish Center
I write today as a committed advocate of free speech and open dialogue. I fully support the rights of those who are organizing the upcoming Free Palestine Summer Series, which includes events scheduled at SALA and the Unitarian Church from now through September.

That difference, of course, is a legitimate subject Read More
