Gessing: Understanding New Mexico’s Data Center Boom
By PAUL J. GESSING
President
Rio Grande Foundation
After years of failure to land a “big fish” business for New Mexico’s economy (or effectively use the oil and gas revenues to grow the economy) Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham with the help of her Economic Development Secretary Rob Black have lured no fewer than three large data centers to New Mexico. These data centers are being built to serve the booming world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and they will have profound impacts on New Mexico.
It is our view that having these data centers locate in New Mexico is better than having them locate elsewhere. Read More
Weekly Fishing Report: Jan. 5, 2026

Happy New Year!
Rainbow trout were not stocked anywhere last week in Northern New Mexico. All the stocking activity took place in Southern New Mexico. Even Tingley Beach and the Albuquerque area drains were not stocked.
The weather has been too warm and the ice-fishing season is off to a slow start. With the exception of Hopewell Lake, no New Mexico lakes or state parks are open for ice fishing. Fenton Lake was starting to freeze, but what ice there was is melting and there is plenty of open water. Some much colder air is forecast for the coming Read More

Sheep Creek Bay: Sheep Creek is one of many contributors to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Seen is Sheep Creek Bay, framed nicely by the red cliffs and hills, which is a part of the large and long reservoir. This is near Wyoming and it is easy to visualize how the reservoir is opening up and becoming wider as it exits the deep canyons to the southern part of Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Fr. Glenn: Overlap
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well … it’s been quite the “interesting” start to the new year, hasn’t it?
New York City has its first Muslim socialist mayor; that will definitely be “interesting” in the financial capital of the world. I, like many, find it hard to believe that, with the tragic history of socialism throughout the world, people are still swayed by its siren song. “Equity” sounds good, but that necessarily presumes equity in effort, ability, etc., which does not happen in practice. If I work harder to produce/earn more, it’s taken from me to give to someone who does not. So why work hard, or at all? Read More
Houck: Thinking Of Selling Your Home?
By DAVID HOUCK
Qualifying Broker
Atomic Realty, LLC
The holiday season has come to a close, family visits are wrapping up, and it’s time to refocus and get back to work. If selling your home is on your mind, we’d like to share a few important considerations.
One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is how you want to sell your home:
- Use a broker to fully market and manage the sale
- Use a broker only for transaction management and paperwork after finding a buyer
- Or sell entirely on your own (FSBO)
While we may be a bit biased, it’s worth honestly considering the time, effort, and responsibilities involved—especially Read More
