Monument Valley: We awoke in Monument Valley to sunny blue skies. The early morning light lit the red landscape bringing it to life. However, after about an hour we began to see clouds and we knew the views would not last. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
Storm Clouds: As we drove about the area we saw clouds forming to the west indicating a change in weather was on its way. We had many miles to cover but we enjoyed a nice morning at Monument Valley before escaping the oncoming storm. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Most Worthy Loyalty
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
The last few weeks have been notable for an emphasis on patriotism. First, Memorial Day, in which we primarily commemorate those who died in wars defending our nation, its interests and freedom in general. Then a couple of weeks later we commemorated the 80th anniversary of D-Day—the invasion of Europe by the Allied forces to ultimately free it from Hitler’s totalitarian grasp. And this coming Friday, June 14, Flag Day, established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 to commemorate the adoption of the Stars & Stripes as the national symbol, later affirmed by Congress Read More

Every year at this time, I am reminded of the first patient I met during my internship as a hospital chaplain twenty-five years ago. On my first day, I was handed a list of room numbers and told to “go visit people”. Typically, a visit should take about 10 minutes, but I only saw one patient my first morning.

By LISA SHIN
Optometrist
Los Alamos Family Eyecare
On May 7, our County Council approved the boundaries of a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area (MRA). Based on the criteria for having an MRA, “aged infrastructure, low occupancy rates, and conditions of blight,” the 800 Trinity building should not be included in its boundaries. I would like to submit my public comment made at this meeting.
“I’m Lisa Shin and I’m Secretary of the 800 Trinity Condo Association. I’m a small business owner and a health care provider. And I have strong objections to including 800 Trinity in the MRA and I ask that you exclude Read More

We previously had considered the layout of the florets that are a part of a sunflower. A sunflower is composed of many florets that are at the center of the flower. Florets are small flowers that bloom individually. A sunflower is a collection of small flowers surrounded by much larger petals, (see Picture 1 above). The florets are eye-catching because they grow in two sets of spirals. One set of 21 Read More
