Happy Thanksgiving.

A winter storm is forecast for the coming week. Stay safe and drive carefully if traveling to spend the holiday with family. Enjoy the food and the company.

The smaller streams and the tributaries of the Rio Grande are starting to freeze and ice over.

The choice of locations to fish is limited by the weather conditions. Some places to try are below El Vado Dam and Abiquiu Dam on the Chama River. The Rio Grande does not totally freeze over, but floating ice  can make fishing difficult.

Navajo Lake does not freeze over and remains Read More

Oh boy it’s almost the most wonderful time of the year for consumerism- Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals! But be careful, some of these deals are straight up scams.

According to a report from Bitdefender 77% of Black Friday spam emails have been identified as scams, with the remainder being marketing lures. That’s up by 7% from 2023. These scams are intended to steal victims’ personal info, such as login credentials and banking information, or directly steal their money with fake purchases or banking trojans.

In Roswell’s newly opened FEMA office, people who lost homes and vehicles in October flooding and people who are still trying to get the mold and muck out of their living quarters hope the government will help them get back on their feet.

In Ruidoso FEMA ensnared flood and fire victims with red tape. And Northern New Mexico’s fire and flood victims are still waiting for payments.

The nation’s disaster relief agency has its problems, but if you’ve just lost everything, FEMA is your only hope. Now FEMA and the whole mission of disaster recovery Read More

Fr. Glenn: Growing Up

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Ah, Thanksgiving is just around the corner—a time of family, feasting and a bit of innocent fun with all we are close to. As we take a little break from the daily grind during the holiday, it is good to—like Jesus did in the Gospel—separate ourselves from the crowd if for even just a little while to reflect on all the good in our lives. Yes, we all have our own problems and worries, of course, but if we continually wallow in the mire of our difficulties, we just slowly keep sinking. Our task is to find the positives to help us rise above, whether that be in friends, family or even the kindness Read More

Welcome to November dear ones. Have you exhaled? Have you found moments of hope even as we struggle with our ongoing division and rhetoric that does not meet its full potential? Did you join the movement of decorating for Christmas as soon as Halloween Read More

Can Congress Again Use Truths That Cut Close To The Bone?

Now and then a broadside of humor gets the point across better than crude acrimony.

Bureau babble has been a butt of public ridicule for ages. A classic case affected clean air, as you will see. The sharpest players in the affair are the former U. S. senator from New Mexico, the Honorable Clinton P. Anderson, and the master skewerer, Mark Twain.

The story begins in earnest, April 1970. I began writing to the U.S. Department of the Interior, the agency then overseeing Read More

Last Tuesday, two significant items on the County Council’s agenda caught the community’s attention: the Community Broadband Project and the proposed purchase of properties on Diamond Drive. While both seemed ready for rubber-stamp approval, the community showed up—both in person and online—to have their voices heard. The result was a mix of progress and constructive delay.

Fiber Optics: A Step Forward

After a detailed presentation and public input, the Council unanimously Read More

Catch Of The Week: Amazon Hacked?

We used to all go to Walmart or Target, but now when you need something, it’s usually easier to go to Amazon and click “Add to cart” whether it’s a cute christmas outfit for your cat, or a new filter for your cat’s fancy water fountain (because water from a bowl is apparently too bougie), or even something completely non-cat related and boring like toilet paper. 

But what if … Amazon got hacked?? Sorry for the click bait headline – thankfully customer data wasn’t impacted, but yes Amazon did recently suffer a data breach thanks to Read More

More than 750,000 people transit Grand Central Terminal – colloquially called Grand Central Station – on a daily basis. It’s a busy place and typically no one stops to consider the history of this world famous train terminal. Or appreciate this New York City gem and its rich past.
