Los Alamos Daily Post 

There was no stocking activity in Northern New Mexico last week. Only Tingley Beach and the drainage canals in the Albuquerque area were stocked. 

There have been some good reports of nice- sized brook trout being caught at Bonito Lake. These are wild fish that spawn In Bonito Creek. It is one of just a handful of year-around trout fisheries in Southeast New Mexico. This lake was closed to all activities for several years due to damage caused by flooding from wildfire burn scars. It is now open for fishing and is being stocked with rainbow trout. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Washing Windows

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

So, here’s a recent headline in the Albuquerque Journal: “Trump labels New Mexico elections ‘corrupt.’” Well, maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. But what’s the best way to find out, give assurance to doubters and perhaps prove him (or any other skeptic) wrong about that or any similar thing? Not by mere rhetorical rebuttal, but by opening wide the doors and making accusers prove it … or not. Similarly with the recent fraud accusations in Minnesota and elsewhere. Or Pentagon audits. Or White House renovations. Etc.

McQuiston: Why Multiple Small Claims Can Hurt More Than A Single Large One

By ALLEN MCQUISTON
Jemez Insurance Agency
Serving Los Alamos Since 1963

Most people assume insurance works like a scoreboard. One big claim feels like a major strike, while a few small claims feel harmless—almost expected. After all, why have insurance if you can’t use it for the little stuff?

That assumption is understandable. It’s also wrong.

In practice, multiple small claims often cause more long-term damage than a single large one. And the reason has less to do with dollars and more to do with patterns.

Happy new year to you all!

It has been an exciting year in the last two weeks.
