I noticed a new sign had been posted: “Self-check-out restricted to 15 items or less.” I had not seen that before.
On the contrary, there were times I had stood in self-checkout lines when the regular cashier stations were all closed or only had one checker. People had large carts full of items. Fresh foods, paper goods, canned goods, liquor or wine or beer, you name it.
The sign Read More

Fr. Glenn: Bared
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
There was a rather persistent headline on a news site recently in which an actor was disparaging religion and, by extension, those adhering to religion. But what is always mystifying to most of us is why celebrities’ opinions of things they either know little about or don’t understand are considered “newsworthy” in the first place. There are a great many celebrities and, as the pastors in and around Los Alamos can testify, world-class scientists and engineers who are devout believers; why are their opinions not trumpeted as this person’s were?

Cinema Cindy Reviews: ‘The Fall Guy’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“The Fall Guy” is the type of movie for which theater screens were designed: explosions, fight scenes, sci-fi encounters, car crashes, nearly all the things stunt actors do are in this movie. David Leitch, himself a former stuntman, directs this tribute to the profession he once shared with thousands of unknown stunt people, the folks who make films work.
The story begins as a romantic-comedy. Ryan Gosling (Barbie’s Ken) plays Colt Seavers, stunt double for a big name actor called Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson from Bullet Train). Colt is sweet on a camera operator Read More
