Just Another Day At the Beach: Elephant seals lie in groups scattered about the beach at Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery when we visited the area in May.

SANTA FE – The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF) is seeking public comment regarding potential changes to fees currently charged by hunting and fishing license vendors.

Currently, all license vendors, including the Department, charge a fee of $1 per license sold. The passage of Senate Bill 5 by the New Mexico State Legislature during its 2025 session enables license collectors to “collect and retain a vendor fee for each license or permit issued; provided that the fee shall be just and reasonable; as determined by regulation of the State Wildlife Commission”.

Do we really need another “Superman” movie? Perhaps you are asking yourself that question, as was I before seeing the new release on July 11. My answer is, why not tell the tale again? The new film is both entertaining and action packed, with a few tweaks and some new characters. There’s even a humorous disobedient super dog named Krypto.

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: July 7, 2025 Game Results

by

BRIDGE News:

Here is a hand of the Los Alamos Duplicate Bridge Club from July 7 that should get most E/W partnerships to at least game, even though the partnership holds only 22 HCP.

Good distribution can make a big difference!

This is board #20. West is the dealer and both sides are vulnerable.

 

West is the dealer, and most likely will open with 1♥, though there are some who would open 1♠ to make their rebid easier later. After North makes a 2♣ overcall, a recommended response from East would be 3♣, showing a limit raise or better. For those who bid traditionally, East’s response would be Read More
