Williams: The Deer In The Window Well
By SEAN WILLIAMS
Los Alamos County Councilor
A couple people have remarked that the deer photographed in a window well is a sign that we shouldn’t feed the wildlife (link). This sentiment is true, but it’s not what happened in this case. The owners of that house are good friends of ours, so I’d like to clear the air a bit.
I saw the deer around 7:30 a.m. (Thursday) as I was preparing to head out for the day. He was acting erratically, but at the time I thought it was because of the stress of having been trapped for so long. The homeowners told me the deer had been there since about 2 a.m. banging on the side of their Read More

Home Country: The Missing Rooster
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
We almost believed we had a crime wave going on, which perplexed us all, especially since it’s Christmas and all.
It all began when old man Ortega’s rooster disappeared. He reported it to the police, too, who thought this neighborhood alarm clock finally met with a dissatisfied customer who was now gleefully making dumplings.
The police said as much to Ortega, and the old man wanted to know what the police were going to do about it. Well, since it had been almost a week since they’d had a complaint come in, the chief sent young Glen around the neighborhood asking chicken Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post
A little more than a week away from Thanksgiving and the weather remains warm and dry. Looking up into the mountains and remembering years when by now they were white with snow with another storm on the way, one wonders if we are in for another winter without a good snowpack.
With a La Nina effect forecast for the next few months, the prospects for a good early ski season and heavy spring runoff to help fill our sadly-depleted reservoirs are not looking good.
With so many of the recent winters being warmer and drier than they used to be, you can’t Read More
