McQuiston: Tips To Check Tire Tread For Safety
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
The Jemez Agency
Tire problems are thought to be a factor in one out of 11 vehicle crashes. Blowouts, tread separation, under inflation, and worn treads—the grooves in your tires that offer stability and traction—are some of the tire problems associated with these crashes.
Like a pair of sneakers that get more slippery with use, your tires lose their ability to grip the road as their treads wear down. Checking your tire treads can help keep you safer on the road. It only takes a few minutes, and some spare change.

Fr. Glenn: Intentional Mediocrity
By Fr. Glenn Jones
“If the minimum wasn’t good enough, it wouldn’t be the minimum.”
I vividly remember that statement from an acquaintance years ago … and not fondly. He was quite happy to perform the very least required of him and, as you can imagine, eventually the minimum wasn’t good enough and, while still in the same profession, his peers have risen in the ranks around him while he remains mired at the lowest level.
The result? Complaints of being treated unfairly; after all, hasn’t he been working there much longer than the others? “Don’t I do what is [minimally] required?” One can’t help but

Cultivating Vitality With Michelle: Creating Something Different This Year
By MICHELLE HARKEY-WILDEEach year this day rolls around. Some people are still recovering from the excesses of their New Year celebration, but some of you are awake and contemplating the Big Decision: should I make New Year’s Resolutions?
Past experience, if you’re like most of us, says that a new set of yearly expectations only leads to a new set of “failures” sometime in January.
I really don’t enjoy repeated failure. That’s why I changed how I do this resolution thing.
Instead of a great big push to totally change life at the beginning of the year, I opt for small sustained changes which

Liddie’s Traditional New Mexican Dishes: Chile Pasado

By LIDDIE MARTINEZThis week I have been applying lotion to my very dry skin and longing for the humid beaches of Hawaii. Our cold and dry New Mexico winters are very hard on our skin but living in the high desert does have its advantages.
Before refrigeration, the indigenous tribes of Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley took advantage of the hot, dry climate to preserve food by drying what they had gathered or hunted. Later, when they began cultivating corn, beans and chile they used the same techniques until refrigeration became widely

Ledoux: Exploring Mysteries Of Living – A Fun Fictitious Cause
By STEPHEN F. LEDOUX
A Los Alamos member of The International Behaviorology Institute
Why these columns? Because human behavior causes global problems and solving these problems requires changes in human behavior. So everyone needs to know something about the natural science of human behavior.
As described in a previous column, being able to spot fictional explanations for behavior provides a skill that prevents analysis errors when trying to understand the causes of behaviors, including problem behaviors, from local to global. Here we consider another type of explanatory fiction.
