Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the First Sunday after Pentecost. In many of our churches we change the paraments (banners, and frontispieces) from the red of Pentecost Sunday to the white used for a special Feast Day. But this annual feast day differs from others. 

Trinity Sunday is about our theology, our understanding of the mystery of God. It addresses the basic doctrine of the Trinity held by the Christian Read More

McQuiston: The Contractor On Your Roof Falls And Why ‘They’re Insured’ Might Not Be Enough

by

By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Serving Los Alamos Since 1963  

A guy is up on your roof on a bright June morning replacing the flashing around your chimney. You hired him because a neighbor used him and he came in a few hundred dollars under the other bid. He’s good, he’s fast, and he’s been at it an hour when you hear the scrape, the shout, and the sound nobody wants to hear. He’s on the ground beside the ladder, his leg is clearly broken, and he can’t get up.

You call 911. You do everything right in the moment. But once the ambulance pulls away, a quieter and much larger question Read More

Catch Of The Week: FBI Warns Of Microsoft 365 Hack

by

For the Los Alamos Daily Post

If you use Outlook, Microsoft Teams, or Microsoft 365 – and a lot of us do – the FBI issued a warning and wants you to know about a new attack. It showed up in April of this year, and it is worth understanding because it isn’t like the phishing attacks you have learned to spot.

The lure usually comes in as a phishing email, frequently impersonating a trusted source like a document sharing service. No fake websites. No misspelled company names. No sketchy links. The Microsoft login page you land on is completely real, but the code Read More

Denish: The Best 250 Anniversary Celebration Is Just Outside Your Door

We are moving into those “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer … those days of soda and pretzels and beer.” Those lyrics come from an old Nat King Cole song that ends with the wish that summer could always be here.

Summer has always carried that carefree feeling. School is out, temperatures rise, and people head outdoors for baseball games, picnics, concerts in local parks, and pickup basketball games. Some kids attend day camps, some help on the family farm, and others line up for the latest Minions movie. Teenagers look for their first Read More

Chappel: Taking A Moment To Thank Community

by

By JASON CHAPPEL
Candidate
Los Alamos County Council

As we head into tomorrow’s primary election, I want to take a moment to thank the people of Los Alamos and White Rock.

Over the last several months, I’ve had the opportunity to attend events, answer questions, and have conversations with residents from across our communities. Whether you support me, support another candidate, or are still deciding, I am grateful to everyone who has taken the time to engage in the process.

When I decided to run for County Council, I did so because I believe local government works best when it stays focused on the Read More

Weekly Fishing Report: May 31, 2026

The State Game and Fish Department stocked a total of 49,338 rainbow trout weighing 10,606 pounds (about 4810.8 kg). Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico. 

Unless you have been living on the dark side of the moon, you are aware that we are experiencing severe drought here in New Mexico and Southern Colorado. If we do not get substantial rain during the upcoming monsoon season, it’s going to be a tough season for fish and anglers. 

Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Streamflows Read More
