Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office responded this afternoon to the scene of an accident on the Main Hill Road. Initial reports indicate that at about 3:40 p.m., a woman drove her car into the rock wall near Anderson Overlook. She appears to have an injury on the front of her neck. Traffic was allowed to exit Los Alamos (eastbound) but those trying to come into Los Alamos (westbound) were diverted for a time to the Truck Route. Traffic is now running smoothly. Check back for an update on this accident as information becomes available. Photo by Derrick Key

Posts From The Road: Happy Independence Day America!
Big Timber, Mont.: We have traveled to Big Timber for the past four years to attend a RV Campout with several other RVers who own Pleasure-Way RVs. Our gathering is the weekend of the Sweet Grass County Festival, which is similar to the Los Alamos Fair and Rodeo weekend. One of our traditions is to attend the parade each year. The flags shown were a part of the parade including the US flag, the POW-MIA flag, the US flag honoring Search and Rescue and EMS (Emergency Medical Service) personnel (orange stripe), and the US flag honoring and supporting the police (blue stripe).

I was at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe the other day, officiating at the last farewell to a beloved former parishioner—a young wife and mother who succumbed, after many years’ valiant struggle, to unrelenting cancer. A privilege and blessing to be able to do this one last service for her, it was even more so to have visited and ministered to her at UNM Hospital in her last days … to spend time with this gentle and faithful woman who strengthened others by her resolute determination, and to be able to assure her of the eternal rest offered by God.

Home Country: We’re All In The Same Boat This 4th Of July

“Ain’t the same, is it?” asked Windy. He sipped some more coffee.
“Know what you mean,” Doc said. “Doesn’t seem right, somehow.”
“Guess we got to, howsomever.”
“Afraid so.” Doc sipped some coffee, too. “But you know, there isn’t a Fourth of July parade that’s worth your life.”

But if you look at it from another angle, it actually brings Read More
