Most of us think of our cars as pretty simple: you get in, you drive, you park, you’re done.
But newer cars … they’re not really “machines” anymore. They’re rolling computers. And like most computers, they’re constantly collecting data — often a lot more than people realize.
Some of it is harmless. Some of it is useful. And some of it is, honestly, a little uncomfortable once you see the full picture.
Let’s take a calm, clear look at what’s actually being gathered and why.

An interesting and somewhat unusual feast for Catholics this weekend (Nov. 9)—the feast of the dedication of the basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. Like the cathedral in Santa Fe is the central church of the Archdiocese, St. John Lateran is the cathedral of the city of Rome and the actual cathedral of the pope in his role as Bishop of Rome. St. John Lateran is the oldest church in Rome, first dedicated in the 300s after Constantine legalized Christianity. Thus, it is considered the “mother” of all Catholic churches—many considering it the mother church of all Christianity. Read More

Corn has been revered as a sacred crop for thousands of years and has been used for ceremonial and religious purposes. Posole, in most Hispanic homes, is a symbol of celebration.

In my family the women gathered in the kitchen to share stories while sharing the work. It is still a time-honored tradition. Cooking always included multiple generations and while the younger cousins learned the oral history of Read More

Have you been counting the minutes until election day when your neighbors can remove all those campaign signs from their lawns for another two years? Yes, these are mid-term elections, just as serious as the presidential election yet to come two years from now, but not as interesting.
Why not? Because the great candidate Vermin Love Supreme only runs for President and doesn’t mess about trying to be someone’s governor. V.L., who appears to be a bearded cross between Archimedes and Alexander Graham Bell, tends to stand out in a crowd. That is largely because he’s usually Read More

Elected To Los Alamos Public Schools Board
This election was never about me or about securing a seat on a board. It was about answering a calling that I was invited to follow; one that asked me to get involved, learn, connect, and trust.
My greatest concern, at the start, was that I didn’t know the mechanics of running a campaign. That concern was quickly eased by the caring guidance and generous support of so many people in our community. The behind-the-scenes work is far greater than one would fathom. But there are hundreds of unnamed members in this effort – including the voters, Read More

I would like to thank the Los Alamos community for your support for the fight against Breast Cancer this year.
This is my 25th year raising funds for breast cancer research and treatment, and this year the community came out in force for multiple fundraising events such as the Yard Sale for Breast Cancer, the Concert for Breast Cancer, and Kick for the Cure.
In early June, numerous individuals donated toys, kitchen items, furniture, electronics, bedding, and clothing to be re-sold to raise funds. Additionally, many people shopped at the Yard Sale for Breast Cancer Read More
