Posts From The Road: 2025 Year In Review Part 1
Coastal Landscape: A view of the coastline, Highway 1, and the iconic Bixby Bridge is seen from a viewpoint about a dozen miles south of Carmel, Calif. and a short distance from the bridge. The late afternoon sunlight gives the scene a warm glow as the sun sets. The west coast provides many scenic views but images including Bixby Bridge have become iconic views.

Fr. Glenn: Making A Home
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and will continue to have a blessed Christmas season. The coming new year, too, inspires within us new hopes and aspirations, and we know how much those good anticipations rely on the health of our relationships with one another—especially with family.
So, it’s quite apropos in multiple ways that, on the Sunday after Christmas and after celebration of the remembrance of Jesus’ birth, Catholics celebrate the feast of the Holy Family and invited to look not so much at angels or miracles, but at a home. A family. That of Jesus, Mary and Read More

Tales Of Our Times: Political Rivals Have Easy Chances To Renew Democracy
Tales Of Our Times
By JOHN BARTLIT
Los Alamos
We live in strange times. Never in our country have political rivalries played out on so large a stage. Settings vary from city parks and plazas to nationwide TV and social media. Each rival, with its allies, rants against its opposition. We hear tell that one set stands for democracy and the other threatens it. Maybe so. I fear that we waste good chances…
Investigations have become “bigger” news than legislation. We hear about large numbers of truly bad immigrants and large numbers of truly good immigrants. We need lawmaking that is suitable for Read More
Catch Of The Week: Spotify Scraping
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
In a reminder that the internet will always try to copy anything that isn’t nailed down, Spotify is investigating claims that a self-described “pirate archivist” group managed to scrape a massive portion of its music catalog. We are talking hundreds of terabytes of data, millions of tracks, and enough metadata to make any data hoarder weep with joy…Yikes!
The group, known as Anna’s Archive, says it scraped Spotify at scale using unauthorized accounts and automation. Not a dramatic smash-and-grab through a blinking server room, Read More

Think New Mexico
The most immediate way that New Mexico lawmakers can expand access to health care is by joining all the interstate compacts for health care workers, which would make it easier for health care professionals who are licensed in other states to care for patients here in New Mexico, including via telehealth.
States that join the doctor compact experience an increase of 10-15 percent in the number of doctors licensed every year.
This probably explains why states keep joining compacts and no state that has joined a compact has ever left. Forty-two Read More
Benson: Meditation For Women Too Busy For Christmas
By JODY BENSON
Los Alamos
I’m sick of Christmas,” my friend said. “Every year it’s the same thing. Shopping, baking, writing cards, addressing envelopes, more shopping, decorating, entertaining, cooking the Christmas dinner…. The kids and grandkids always come to mom’s or grandma’s house for their Christmases.
I have to do everything. It’s not like I’m the only one there—after all, I’m married. But does HE ever help? No. All he does is come home and enjoy the place. He thinks he’s done enough if he has to pull out his credit card.”
“It’s been the same since Christmas began,” I agreed theologically. Read More
