Letter to the Editor: On Hyping Roundabouts
Recently, Councilor Kristin Henderson stated (Los Alamos Daily Post Feb. 23) that “And yes, the federal and state highway people are all good with a roundabout. New Mexico just put one in on the bypass.”
There has been no roundabout put on the N.M. 599 bypass. The roundabouts are on a low-traffic, feeder road on either side of the bypass and not on N.M. 599 itself.

Pajarito Reads: ‘Blaize Castle’ a Fun Read in the Style of Jane Austen
Column by BONNIE J. GORDON“This hat sells books,” said local author Inez Ross when I admired her bright red fedora.
Ross, who has a life-long love affair with trains and rides often, finds her hat is a great conversation starter onboard the train.
“People ask me if I’m in the Red Hat Society and I say I belong to the Black Feather Authors’ Society,” Ross said. This often leads directly to a sale.
The other secret of Ross’ success in selling her books on the train is the size. Smaller than an average paperback, her books are the perfect size for a pocket or purse and just the right length Read More

From “hedgehog” of last week to “flywheel” of this week; these are some of the principles in Jim Collins’ “Good To Great.”
The “flywheel” is about steady improvement over time; with momentum gradually building up, the wheel/organization eventually transforms and takes off.
There is no flashy launching of some product/program or momentous announcement. Every delivery of result builds for the next step and on and on, so that when looking back, people Read More
