Ranchers can finally take a deep breath and think about paying down long-term loans and rebuilding their herds because they finally caught a break on beef prices.
When the president told reporters on Air Force One that he was thinking about reducing beef prices by importing more beef from Argentina, he triggered an instant market reaction. Cattle futures dropped $9 overnight. It was a shock to cattle growers and threatened to undercut the first financial stability they’ve enjoyed in years.
The reaction from American producers Read More

COMMUNITY News:
The community is invited to join the Los Alamos Garden Club Saturday, Nov. 8, to help with its annual mulching of the Memorial Rose Garden. Five-gallon buckets and shovels are helpful. Many hands make light work, and it will probably take around an hour.
Soon, the County will erect an elegant 7-foot, visually minimal fence to keep the deer out and the club will be able to dispense with the chicken wire cages.
Sincere thanks to Will Plotner, Hands of Time Clock Repair, for his Read More
Op-Ed: New Mexico Needs Common-Sense Malpractice Reform
By Robert McAtee, MD & Elena McAtee, MD
We write to encourage you to urgently ask your State Representative and Senator to pass medical malpractice reform in the next legislative session.
I am an Emergency Medicine Physician in Española and my wife is a Family Medicine Physician here in Los Alamos. We love New Mexico, but we can no longer ignore how our state’s malpractice environment is driving doctors away and making it harder for patients to get timely care.
The numbers are stark. Independent analyses by Think New Mexico demonstrate that New Mexico has one malpractice lawsuit for roughly Read More

Weekly Fishing Report: Nov. 2, 2025
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
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

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
