By LISA SHIN

Dear Friends: As you gather today with loved ones, friends, and family, I wanted to wish you a joyful and blessed Easter! It was so wonderful to see the kids at the Elks Easter Egg Hunt yesterday morning at Ashley Pond! It has been 3 years since the last event, and I am relieved that we are returning to normal life. 

I am amazed that we were able to keep the business going and take care of so many eye care needs following the NM Public Health Order. Other small businesses did not survive the lockdowns and restrictions. A nationwide problem, we have also experienced Read More

“Did you hear what Mirabel’s father just said?” and I snatched up the remote from Terry in the middle of watching the Disney movie “Encanto”. My patient wife, who has too many times relinquished control of the remote so I can rewind a scene because A) I couldn’t understand what was just said, B) I noticed something in the background scenery that I found interesting or abnormal, or C) I wanted to stop and share some obscure Wikipedia nugget I remembered about the historical context of the movie, has now found a fourth reason, D) the use of a polite substitute for a Spanish Read More

The term ‘financial wellbeing’ is the ticket to freedom, or so we are told in Western society. Money gives us security but, beyond fulfilling our basic need for shelter and food, money does not guarantee health.

If given the choice, most of us would pick being healthy over a full bank account.

Los Alamos Daily Post

The spring runoff has started in Northern New Mexico. Streamflows are rising and will likely continue to rise through April and into May.

We have a decent snowpack this year, but it’s going to take several years of good snowpacks to help pull us out of the prolonged drought we have been experiencing. 

One notable exception to the rising streamflows is the Rio Grande. Streamflow levels in the Rio Grande are still well-below normal. It dropped this week from last week. This indicates that farmers and ranchers in the San Luis Valley of Colorado Read More
