If you don’t know me well, let me tell you how a little, local program, brought me to where I am today.
About 2006, I read an article in the Los Alamos Monitor, about a program called Leadership Los Alamos (LLA). I was smitten with the idea of Read More
Catch Of The Week: Supply Chain Attacks
By BECKY RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
Aren’t long weekends awesome? You can chill out, relax, maybe have some brews with your friends … use a previously unknown vulnerability in a remote monitoring and management software package to distribute REvil ransomware to over 1,000 businesses across 17 countries, and demand a $70 million ransom. Wait, what?
What exactly is a “remote monitoring and management software package?” It is software used to remotely manage a company’s IT networks and devices. This software is then sold to managed service providers (MSP) — basically outsourced IT departments Read More
Home Country: Blessed July Evenings
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
It’s the heat that defines us this month. It greets us at daybreak with its promise, but in an hour or so, it bears down on our shoulders and makes us dream of shade and something cold to drink.
The best thing about our hot season, however, are evenings when most of the earth cools, and that breeze slides in off the mesa and caresses our cheeks. Then it’s time to sit, and laugh, and tell stories and just be with someone we love. Then is the culmination of a day we can be proud of.
Inside each of us, we silently and privately applaud ourselves, because the hot day tried us, but we did Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post
The recent period of cool temperatures and rainy weather has been beneficial for anglers, keeping the streamflows in New Mexico higher and keeping water temperatures cooler.
Campers benefitted as well. Stage 1 Fire Restrictions were lifted on Santa Fe National Forest and Carson National Forest land, allowing campers to enjoy campfires again.
Fire restrictions could be put back into place if the weather turns hot and dry. For now, enjoy the comfort of a campfire. Fire restrictions at New Mexico State Parks vary from park-to-park.

Fr. Glenn: Working Toward The Better
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
A blessed Independence Day weekend/week to all of you! We are SOOO blessed to live in a nation such as ours, despite the various criticisms that we hear—from both externally and internally. I cannot help but to think of the poor people that live in dictatorial and oppressive regimes, and pray that they one day also live in the type of freedom that we enjoy daily. If things in our nation were nearly as bad as often portrayed, one would think that people would flee at the very idea of the U.S., and that there’d be a mass exodus brewing. But … no; quite the opposite. Even those who, at least Read More

We always grew peas in our garden. A northern New Mexico staple for centuries, alverjón is an old Arabic word, a remnant of the invasion of Spain by the Moors in the 8th century that made a permanent home in Northern New Mexico by way of the Camino Real. The archaic word was first documented in the new world in 1626 by Fray Alonso de Benavides. Newly arrived to northern New Mexico nearly 30 years after Don Juan de Oñate he wrote in his journal that the land was, “…exceedingly fertile and produced in great Read More
