The unrelenting heat wave that held a firm grip on New Mexico this past week continues to plague the state. There are encouraging signs that the high pressure dome will weaken later this month and the monsoonal moisture may finally find its way to New Mexico.
Until it does, fishing will be best early in the morning and late in the evening. Streamflows continue to drop and anglers are encouraged to let the trout rest in the middle of the day when the stress of the heat will make it difficult for them to survive being caught and released.

On May 6, under a blue New Mexico sky, I stood next to a trail in Cerrillos Hills State Park as pack burros and their human partners raced by. The 2nd annual Turquoise Trail Pack Burro Race illustrated what New Mexico’s state parks do best: Bring people outside, provide education, and encourage economic activity in our parks’ gateway communities, from restaurants to guides and other outdoor recreation businesses.

Posts From The Road: Battle Of Little Bighorn In Montana
Memorial: A memorial stands on the Last Stand Hill honoring those lives lost in the Battle of Little Bighorn. The memorial plaque reads: ‘The remains of about 220 soldiers, scouts, and civilians are buried around the base of this memorial. The white marble headstones scattered over the battlefield denotes where slain troopers were found and originally buried. In 1881 they were reinterred in a single grave on this site. Remains of the officers were removed in 1877 to various cemeteries throughout the country. General Custer was buried at West Point.’ Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Taking The Reins
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Almost every day there seems to be a new “hate group” condemned by those who oppose what that group stands for. But if you claim that everyone who opposes your own opinion is “hating”, then who is the true “hater”? And if you claim “hate” for every opinion or stand against your own, then how will you ever consider possible errors in your own position? That’s why criticism can be very helpful: if utilized rather than discarded out of hand, it forces us to reassess, consider other viewpoints, and perhaps refine what and why we believe.
That’s why the phrase “settled science” is somewhat Read More

A Blessing for “When Church Breaks Your Heart” by Dr. Kate Bowler
“Blessed are you standing among the ruins of a family of faith that once felt so sturdy, now turned to dust under your feet.
The certainty you once had, gone. The community you loved, dissipated.
The hope you held dear, hard to find.
Instead, what’s taken up residence is the very stuff that seems counter to what you imagined: Read More

World Snake Day is celebrated every year on July 16 to raise awareness about the different types of snake species and the important role they play in maintaining ecological balance.
Perhaps you missed the articles last year that stated, “One-fifth of all snakes, turtles, and other reptiles face extinction. More than a fifth of all reptilian species — over 1,800 — are threatened with extinction, and 31 species have permanently vanished already, according to a new study in the journal Nature.” https://www.vox.com/2022/4/27/23040966/snakes-turtles-lizards-reptiles-extinction Read More
