McQuiston: 5 Things That May Be Missing From Your Home Insurance Policy
By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Why Reviewing Your Coverage Matters More Than You Think
Homeowners often assume they’re fully protected — but insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Here are five common gaps that could leave you exposed:
1. Extended Replacement Cost
Most policies cover your home up to a set amount. But if rebuilding costs skyrocket after a wildfire or storm, your coverage could fall short.
Extended replacement cost coverage adds 10–25% extra — an essential safeguard when rebuild costs are volatile.
2. High-Value Personal Items

Los Alamos Ranch School turned out many young men who were destined to make their mark on society. One of these young men was Edward T. Hall, who would become a noted cultural anthropologist.

Eventually, he earned a bachelor’s in anthropology from the University Read More

By REBECCA RUTHERFORD

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
A good job is hard to find, so what if one falls into your lap? Be careful of any “job offers” via text message, these are scams known as smishing, phishing via text message.
What is smishing? Smishing (SMS phishing) uses deceptive text messages to trick victims into sharing personal information or clicking malicious links, while phishing uses fraudulent emails and fake websites to achieve the same things.
It’s still a phishing scam, just via text message.

Home Country: Here In The Rain
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
When the world is hot and my skin is fried, scratching from the constant dry, let the clouds boil up, boil up high. And then shade the earth with the darkening sky and bring the secrets and the smell of rain. The coolness and the blessed rain, again.
Our land is brown but blessed, stressed in the heat, the shiny heat of day.
The slender green of rivers slide along, striving to continue, to feed its own along the banks, the banks where the dust rises. Rises, powdery clomp by clomp as we walk, walk the shady way.
And though the heat, the dryness of heat, pushes down our weary feet, Read More
