Los Alamos Daily Post 

The State Game and Fish Department stocked a total of 18,839 rainbow trout weighing 9,089 pounds. Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico. 

The Fourth of July holiday is coming up next week. Popular fishing destinations will be crowded. 

Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Stream flows above 1,000 cubic-feet-per-second would be common. The terrible snowpack and poor spring runoff have kept stream flows well below normal. 

Streamflow in the Rio Grande decreased just a little Read More

Fr. Glenn: Who Knows?

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

We finally come to the summer solstice and begin the season. It’s funny to watch some of the videos of European soccer (excuse me; “football”) fans during the World Cup tournaments find out how hot it gets over here across the pond. In any event, we may be in for a hot one. But … who knows?

Well, one who does know is the one who knows all. In the Catholic Mass Gospel today we hear Jesus assure us:“…not one [sparrow] falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted.” (Matthew 10:29-30)

The omniscience of God—that He is all-knowing—is something Read More

I don’t betray confidences, but I do tell people that they aren’t alone Read More

The sky is clear all morning. Then around 3 p.m. the clouds start stacking up dark over the mountains, the wind kicks up, and 10 minutes later it’s coming down sideways. Hail is ticking off the windows and the street out front is already running like a creek.

If you’ve spent a summer in northern New Mexico, you know the drill. The storms are loud and dramatic, and they can do real damage in about the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee.

Monsoon season officially started in mid-June and runs through September. The good news is that Read More
