If someone borrows your car, are they covered under your car insurance policy? What if you want to add a car to your existing coverage?
What Drivers Are Covered?
Named insured. The named insured is the person or people named in the policy. Liability policies cover named insureds no matter what car they are driving.
Spouse. Even if a spouse of the named insured is not named on a policy, auto liability insurance almost always covers the spouse as well, while driving any car. If the couple no longer live together, however, the policy will Read More

Early Color: As we rise to higher elevations on the scenic byway there are several areas where the fall colors of the aspen trees are beginning to shine.

Fr. Glenn: Standing Fast
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Hmm … equinox this week, and so autumn begins this week. Ah, spring and autumn—favorite times of the year … the first showcasing beauty of new life, and the autumn foliage an analogy for Christians of the inevitability of death, and yet with anticipation and faith of future resurrection.
Well, the kids are all firmly ensconced and absorbed with their classes by now. We certainly hope this year has lesser disruption than last when COVID burst upon the scene. Cheers to the teachers who had to do all the remote teaching, and at times remote and in-class teaching.
That came to mind with Read More
Gessing: Oil-Fueled Surplus Both Blessing & Curse For NM
By PAUL J. GESSING
Rio Grande Foundation
The news that New Mexico’s oil and gas industry has again generated record-breaking revenues for the State was welcomed by policymakers and interest groups alike. But the disconnect between the State budget picture and the economic situation for average New Mexicans could not be starker. And this is one of the “problems” associated with the state’s dependence on oil and gas.
Don’t get me wrong: we at the Rio Grande Foundation fully support the oil and gas industries.
The so-called “progressive” Democrats in the Legislature who signed a letter to the Biden Read More
Home Country: Mr. Collins
Home Country

Before Herb Collins retired, he owned a pawn shop up in the city. A successful pawn shop. And one of the ways he likes to repay society for his good fortune is to speak to the fifth graders at our local elementary school during Career Week.
And that’s why he was here again this year, attempting to springboard any number of 10-year-olds into the glories of buying low and selling high.
But this year there was a difference. Some of the kids were looking over at Jimmy Thomas and Elise Jamison and couldn’t control their giggles. Jimmy and Elise, however, tried to look very sober Read More
McQuiston: Why Are Car Insurance Rates Increasing?
By ALLEN MCQUISTON

We often get calls from folks asking why their car insurance rates are increasing, even if they have not had any accidents. There are many factors that determine car insurance rates, including the type of car you own, the zip code you live in and your credit score, but there are also some “hidden” factors that are driving up car insurance rates.
There is an increase in cost per accident that is being driven by two trends: rising car repair costs and rising medical costs covered by auto insurance. Every year a new car cost more than a new car Read More
