Greetings, Los Alamos! The third quarter of 2025 is in the books, so it’s time for our latest real estate update for Los Alamos County.

Weekly Fishing Report: Nov. 2, 2025

The stocking of rainbow trout by the State Game and Fish Department has shifted its emphasis to Southern New Mexico. Lakes and ponds too warm in the summer to support trout are being stocked now because of cooler weather. 

Streamflow on the Rio Grande increased over the last week. Streamflows today were 497 cubic-feet-per-second at Taos Junction and 557at Embudo. The streamflow at Cerro near the Colorado border was 380 cubic feet per second. All of these are above normal and should be good for trout, allowing any stocked trout not yet caught Read More

Posts From The Road: Texas Roadside Oddities

Outlaw Gas Station: During the prohibition era, many establishments secretly began to appear with one product in mind, moonshine. Often these businesses appeared to be legitimate establishments such as a gas station or other common business but moonshine sales were king. This gas station may have sold more moonshine than gas back in the day. The old station is in Glen Rose, Texas. The structure was constructed with stone, bricks, and petrified wood. Petrified wood was plentiful in the area and widely used in buildings in the area. After the prohibition era ended, the business but the shell of Read More

Fr. Glenn: Saints…and Sinners

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Happy November everyone! Hard to believe we’re nearing the end of 2025 already. Ah, precious time. It’s like the words of that country song about the centenarian: “Don’t blink…A hundred years goes faster than you think.”

Yep, the time goes fast, and before you know it, we all inevitably look at the end of earthly life. Society tends to look at that end as tragic, but we Christians … not so much. As God is the master of life, we should not seek, and certainly never hasten, the end of life, but our greatest hope lies after this life with a future life with Him. As St. Paul so famously Read More

October 31-November 2 is what the Church sometimes calls “Allhallowtide.” These three days include All Saints/Hallows’ Eve on October 31, All Saints’ Day on November 1, and All Souls’ Day on November 2. This is the time of year when we intentionally remember that “great cloud of witnesses” of which St. Paul speaks.

Besides the official Saints of the Church, we also remember the ordinary Read More

Republican Party Of Los Alamos: Please Vote!

By LISA SHIN
Chair
Republican Party of Los Alamos

Dear Friends: 

Diane Denish recently said, “National politics may dominate the headlines, but it’s your local school board that will shape the classrooms, teachers, and opportunities your children see every day.” Please vote Stephanie Galvez for District 1, Tamara Hinckley for District 2, and Bryan Fearey for the UNM-LA Advisory Board.

Our Council’s vote to increase Gross Receipts Taxes on October 28, 2025, was terribly disappointing (with Councilor Reagor opposed). Does our County really believe that we can negatively impact the #1 economic Read More

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Oct. 27, 2025

BRIDGE News:

We held a Club Appreciation game on Oct. 27 and participated in the ACBL-wide Instant Matchpoint game on October 29.

Martin Cooper and Jerry Fleming were open winners on Monday, and Jan Barnes and Reggie Fuchs were 1st in flight B. Steve Kemic and Jennifer Young were 1st locally in the Wednesday game.

This is board #21 from our October 27 game.  North is the dealer and N/S are vulnerable.

Today’s hand is challenging to both sides.  North is the dealer and I like a 1♦ opening. Why?  Although there are only 11 high card points (HCP), there is a 5th diamond, a good spade suit and a singleton Read More
