Winter made a return visit last week to New Mexico. Friday and Saturday saw winter-like temperatures below freezing. The big winner in terms of snowfall was the east facing slopes of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Areas near Mora picked up 16 inches of snow.
The temperatures will rise dramatically this coming week, with forecasts calling for 80 degrees by Saturday.
Streamflows should increase this week due to melting snow. The warm temperatures will bring an end to the State Game and Fish Department’s winter trout stocking program Read More

March madness is an exciting month for basketball. For me it’s all about the New Mexico high school basketball tournament. As a Hobbs Eagle, I’ve spent decades going with friends to the March tournament.
This year as I made plans to attend the tournament, I called Hobbs friends in Albuquerque to see if they wanted to go. I was surprised when two of them expressed reluctance to attend given that Hobbs was the center of a measles outbreak with thirty-one cases at the time. They were sure that at least some of the hundreds of fans who made the trip Read More

Hello my fellow Los Alamos residents, my name is Tylerr Jones and for the better part of the last 20 years, I have worked as a fireman in Los Alamos and Santa Fe as well as an emergency room nurse in Los Alamos and Santa Fe. I am currently working with Los Alamos Visiting Nurses and serving as a member of the Los Alamos County Health Council.
One of the most prevalent situations I’ve encountered in both careers is injury from falls in the elderly. Typically we will run calls to help “lift” an individual who fell and simply isn’t able to get up. The issue Read More
Fr. Glenn: Countin’ For Somethin’
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I’ve been watching the old black and white episodes of “Gunsmoke” during relax time lately, and saw a rather poignant one recently (Ssn 9, Ep.26). A struggling farmer was feeling that he was getting “old” (a whole 43 … puh-leeaasssse!) and was depressed because he felt that he had been of no consequence in his life—barely making a living, no kids, and a shrewish wife declaring him a “failure”. A rather timid yet good fellow, he goes into Dodge City hoping to find some way to make his mark, and ends up publicly backing down to a bully in shame (in front of a woman who had been kind to him, Read More

Zabriskie View: A view toward the south from the Zabriskie Point walkway reveals a portion of the badlands in the area. The textures of the landscape and the various colors of the soil and rocks are easily visible from the walkway and viewpoint.

Manly Beacon: The triangular shaped geological feature seen looking north from Zabriskie Point is the most notable feature in the badlands around the point. The stripped Read More
Catch Of The Week: NMB&T Themed Smishing Scams

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
This week’s scam is a New Mexico Bank & Trust themed smishing scam!
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.
In this case, I received the below text message this week:

This actually went to my Google Voice number, which helpfully tells me this may be spam- indeed! Read More

Approaching another birthday ending in zero or five can make one feel old. A lot of history got us this far. For the eldest among us, we wonder what could possibly equal the joys in our past. And yet, through the lens of our faith (and as we know from experience), there are still good things to come.
Change, we have learned, is inevitable. We don’t always like the changes we see around Read More
