Fuselier: The Month Before Christmas
By BOB FUSELIER
Los Alamos
‘Twas a month before Christmas
And all through the nation
The people were anxious
And manning their stations.
When Big Money decided
It’s that time of year
To grant all a reprieve,
From their anger and fear.
Big Money’s no fool;
He’d grown strong and, yes, bold.
But his streets were in need
Of more layers of gold.
He deserved it, you see,
He worked hard this past year.
Installing his minions
With false pride and big fear.
It took hard work to buy
All those hearts and those minds.
They came from everyone,
You and me, all peoples, all kinds.
They came from the rich.
They came from Read More

Maybe in the future a speaker will urge new high school graduates to consider the rewarding career of a detention center guard. If counties can shake more money out of the state. If the state takes responsibility for its part of counties’ expenses. If our jails get the attention they need.
If…
Legislators recently heard about the sorry state of New Mexico jails from the New Mexico Association of Counties, presenting before the interim Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee.

In an episode of the original “Star Trek,” the Enterprise lands on a planet where inhabitants have lined up submissively to die at the Disintegration Chamber.
The planet is at war with a rival planet, a war fought entirely by computers. After a simulated battle, some people from the losing side will present themselves for disintegration. Because the war is so bloodless, nobody is trying to end it. They have made the unthinkable acceptable.
The episode ends with Captain Kirk destroying the computers and persuading the opponents Read More

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Tis the season for family gatherings and travel, and we all need to stay connected on the road, right? That can mean using public Wi-Fi for your smart devices, but public Wi-Fi can be dangerous.
Think twice before connecting to public Wi-Fi, and make sure you take some precautions to protect sensitive data.
It’s important to remember that data sent over public Wi-Fi, especially open public Wi-Fi that doesn’t require a password for access—can be stolen or manipulated by an adversary.
Even if a public Wi-Fi network needs a password to connect, you Read More

The melodic calls of Sandhill cranes filled the sky above the Española Valley this morning as flocks of these majestic birds filled the sky.
They were heading south to spend the winter at Bosque de Apache National Wildlife Refuge near Socorro. In the late winter and early spring the cranes will leave New Mexico and gather at Grand Island in Nebraska.
There the cranes will pair off. The males will perform elaborate dances to attract a mate. From there, the cranes will continue north.
They breed north of the Artic Circle with some going as far Read More

Congenial. Fair. Smart. Trustworthy. Man of his word.
These were words used to describe Sen. Stuart Ingle when I spoke to his colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, in the Senate. Ingle, a veteran of the New Mexico Senate, resigned recently, deciding to call it quits after almost 40 years.
In his typical, low-key manner, he loaded up his box of belongings from his Senate office, and when a passerby asked him what he was doing, he said “I’m done. I’m out of here.”
Ingle came to the Senate in 1985. His first term was the only time he served Read More
