Some of the coldest weather we will experience all winter normally happens right after Christmas and in the first two weeks of the New Year. That is holding true to form so far. Still no ice fishing yet. Eagle Nest Lake should open soon and Fenton Lake will likely open in mod-January.
The drainage canals in the Albuquerque area are now being stocked with rainbow trout. The Albuquerque, Albuquerque South, Belen, Riverside, Bernalillo, Corrales and Peralta drains were stocked last week.

Maybe the new oil and gas methane rule has a silver lining for New Mexico. That is, if Texas and other oil-producing states have to comply with the same rule as New Mexico, it’s no longer a competitive disadvantage for New Mexico oil production.
The new federal rule was announced Dec. 2 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai. The EPA’s press release says implementation of the rule will “prevent an estimated 58 million tons of methane emissions from 2024 to 2038, the equivalent of 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon Read More

I didn’t think any more could be written about Billy the Kid because eager Billy buffs have scoured every speck of data about the state’s favorite bad guy. But last year Kurt House and Roy B. Young published “Chasing Billy the Kid: The Untold Story of the Manhunt for William H. Bonney.” They introduced a new character into the Billy pageant, Frank Stewart, and corrected the historical record. Lately, they even arranged for the forgotten Stewart to get a tombstone.
What we’ve read for years is that on Dec. 23, 1880, lawman Pat Garrett Read More

The noisy cackling of the geese becomes louder as flight time nears during the morning flight out of the refuge. While the birds leave in mass, they seem to do so in an orderly and organized manor.

Fr. Glenn: A World Loved
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Ah … ’tis Christmas eve. Such a joyful—if hectic—time of year. Cooking, traveling, decorating. Eating. Christmas must keep all the sugar producers in business. If I eat one more biscochito, I’m just gonna’ pop. Oooo … but there’s some fudge! And peppermint bark!! Oh, don’t watch; this ain’t gonna’ be pretty.
Yep … for a great many, everything is just a bit lighter this time of year. Yes, of course there are many undergoing the rigors of sadness and hardship; those things enter into all of our lives, some having greater burdens than others. Thus the great charity—not to mention Read More

It’s that time of the year again, when we eagerly await the stroke of midnight to turn our calendars to a brand new year. And with this new beginning comes a tradition that has been around for centuries – setting New Year’s resolutions.
While the concept of making resolutions may seem like a modern-day trend, it actually has its roots in ancient civilizations.
The Babylonians, for instance, made promises to their gods at the start of each year in hopes of gaining favor. This practice was also adopted by the Romans, who dedicated the month Read More
Catch Of The Week: Fake WordPress Security Advisory Scam
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
If you’re a blogger, chances are you have used WordPress as a platform. It’s one of the biggest blogger platforms out there. If and when I start my blog about cats, cocktails and cybersecurity, I’ll probably even end up using it.
That said, WordPress is notoriously not so great from a security perspective. Outdated software, plugins and themes are one of the bigger contributors to this issue.
For the casual user, keeping everything up to date in WordPress can be challenging, but without these updates there can be some serious security issues. Read More
