Fr. Glenn: Not Playing To The Crowd
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
In the games of a democratic republic such as ours, we daily see politicians of every stripe vying for votes. “What can I say … what policy can I implement, or at least promote … that will gain me the most votes?” And, as we’ve seen probably since the beginning of democracies since ancient Greece, aspiring politicians promise the world, but often can—or will— provide only crumbs.
I often chuckle when I read the story of the trees in Judges 9. The trees clamor for the choicest trees/plants to be leaders, but those decline because they do not want to give up their joy and pleasant life. Read More

Pueblo Canyon is one of the largest canyons in the Los Alamos area. It is five miles long going upstream to where it encounters Diamond Drive. A rock dam exists at this point to provide the base of a roadway across the canyon.

Almost every vehicle made since 2015 has some form of IVI system. And any time a device connects to the vehicle through a USB or Bluetooth, the information from the Read More

OAK New Mexico
Another year, another 50th ranking for New Mexico in the annual Kids Count report. And this dismal ranking doesn’t even take into account the negative impact of COVID 19 and Gov. Lujan Grisham’s harsh lockdowns and over a year of lost in-person schooling.
The average U.S. child has lost the equivalent of five to nine months of learning during the pandemic, according to a report from McKinsey & Company. With New Mexico’s high poverty rates and lack of broadband access relative to other states (combined with more lost classroom Read More
You Don’t Have To Sit Cross Legged To Do Yoga … In-Person Pranakriya Yoga Comes To Los Alamos
By Jacci Gruninger, MS, C-IAYT, ERYT500
Do you think you can’t do yoga because you can’t sit cross legged? We have all seen the ancient yogis sitting cross legged and if you browse Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat or other social media platforms you see “star” yoga, but that’s not what yoga is really about.
