Safer Driving Starts With You…

Let’s make SAFE decisions behind the wheel:

            • Buckle up
            • Follow the speed limit
            • Don’t drive distracted
            • Drive sober
            • Maybe even Drive Less Los Alamos!

Op-Ed: Response To Matthew Jeremy’s Response To James Rickman’s Op-Ed

by

By DAVE WILSON
Los Alamos

Mr. Jeremy brings up some valuable and useful insights in regard to the Fourth Amendment, and the expectation of personal privacy when an individual is in a public space (link).

Indeed, you compromise your expectation of privacy even when you exit your home and go into your backyard.

“At the time it was adopted, the Fourth Amendment prohibited the government from entering Read More

Fr. Glenn: Reflecting

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

It’s interesting to witness the paroxysms of many over Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire—the launching of the SpaceX to public trading bumping him through that heretofore unattained ceiling. Of course, it’s a tenuous title; if the stock market takes a downturn or the economy goes into one of its periodic recessions, he’ll likely lose that trillionaire mark and only be worth several hundred billion … poor thing. Of course, most of his wealth is in stock and company ownerships (companies which employ tens of thousands of people, by the way: Tesla 134,000, SpaceX (including Read More
