Los Alamos Daily Post
Extensive flooding continues in the Las Vegas area, especially along the Gallinas River. It is best to avoid this area as crews clean up after the floods. It is always a good idea to check conditions at the location you are headed to. Streamflows can be checked on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow website.
So far streamflows have remained decent this summer and are now at a good level for fishing.
As often happens during monsoon season, some areas have received more rain than others. The Eastern side of the Sangre de Cristo Read More

DeVolder: Proposal For Reducing Plastics In Environment
By MARK DEVOLDER
Los Alamos
For years I have been picking up discarded nylon zip ties. Zip ties don’t cost much and are considered a “throw-away” item. Typically, zip ties are cut in two and are then discarded. I find many opportunities to reuse both short and long pieces of zip ties.
Some time ago, I began experimenting with zip ties. Zip ties have a little plastic or metal prong (tooth) that holds the zip tie together. I found that I can use a small jeweler’s screwdriver or a 1/16-inch wide piece of tin can stock inserted into the square portion of the zip tie to hold the prong away from the mating ridges Read More

In the midst of a political upheaval and a new dynamic in the presidential election, the role money plays in political campaigns has a new focus.
Let’s start with mega donors: Peter Thiel, Pay Pal founder and hedge fund giant. Thiel, who was born in Germany, is a naturalized American citizen. In 2017 he was granted citizenship in New Zealand saying, “New Zealand is the future”. He sometimes refers to New Zealand as his “back up country”.
Thiel is a self-described conservative, libertarian, and registered Republican. He has an estimated Read More

Former Gov. Susana Martinez once described her first legislative session, in 2011, as “hand-to-hand combat”.
A former DA, Martinez had no experience with the Legislature, and went in swinging. She used campaign rhetoric, radio ads and robo calls to browbeat them and even sent a staff member to videotape them as they debated.
She said Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez “chose to play politics with our children’s future”.
Of the film tax credit, she said, “We cannot subsidize Hollywood on the backs of our schoolchildren”.

Cinema Cindy Reviews: Deadpool And Wolverine
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“Deadpool and Wolverine” opened nationwide on Friday and is playing locally at SALA through August 8th. This is the third, major release Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds in the title role, after the original in 2016 and Deadpool 2 in 2018. (Apparently, there was one called “Once Upon a Deadpool”, also in 2018.) All of them have been rated “R”.
One reviewer wrote that this 2024 installment is “the goriest Marvel film ever put to screen.” It lives up to the description of Deadpool being “gleefully profane”, as one reviewer stated in 2016. On the other hand, what the Read More
