Sleep can be elusive for me. On the occasional good nights, I hit the pillow and get my necessary zzzs, though I do wake up at least once during this span. Most times, though, I lie in bed wide awake because I can’t turn my brain off. I try numerous techniques to help me relax and to stop the mental regurgitation, but much of the time they fail to work. And as the clocks ticks, I just get more stressed over the fact I’m not sleeping. Then it becomes a vicious cycle.

Calendar invites are pretty innocuous right? Unless they’re a phishing campaign…

According to reports from bleepingcomputer.com iCloud Calendar invites are being abused to send callback phishing emails disguised as purchase notifications directly from Apple’s email servers, making them more likely to make it through your spam filters, and into your inbox!

The above email was shared with Bleeping Computer by a reader, and claimed to be a payment receipt for $599 charged against the recipient’s PayPal Read More

With all the division in our country and world, and the fear, anger, and hatred that flows from it and contributes to it, it can be easy to be pessimistic about our future. The news, whether delivered by cable, network, or internet, seems to be full of the bad with little of the good. Social media loves to keep us scrolling – and their ad revenue up – by taking advantage of the fact that bad news and divisiveness are big attention-getters. Hope seems like a lost dream. But is it?

Our community, state, nation, and world are full of dedicated organizations doing Read More

The cooler temperatures and rain that New Mexico experienced this past week should help to improve fishing conditions. Bank fishermen at our lakes should benefit the most as trout will start moving into shallower water as the water temperatures cool down. 

If you are a hunter, bring along your shotgun on trips into the mountains. Blue grouse season is open. These game birds are often encountered while driving dirt roads in our National Forests. They are excellent eating. The daily bag limit is three

Another cabinet secretary has departed the horror show we call the Children Youth and Families Department. Teresa Casados left the same day the Governor’s Office announced her retirement, which looks like a firing.

In 2023, when she joined CYFD, Casados was the governor’s chief operating officer. She had been a competent bureaucrat – that reliable person a governor can count on to get things done. Casados had led the state’s COVID-19 response, along with wildfire relief. But the agency reporters usually describe as “embattled” Read More

If you’ve ever looked at classic cars from the 1970s, it’s easy to admire the chrome bumpers, solid frames, and heavy steel doors. Many people assume those older cars were “built like tanks” and therefore safer. But when it comes to surviving a serious crash, the reality is the opposite. Modern vehicles give you a far better chance of walking away.

Here’s why:

The Myth of Heavy Steel vs. Real Safety

Back in the 1970s, vehicles were heavier, but weight doesn’t equal protection. Older designs were rigid, meaning the car absorbed
