The November lecture that was brought to town by the Los Alamos Historical Society was on Tuesday night at Fuller Lodge.

The speaker was Dr. Jeffrey Boutwell, who is closely associated with the long-running Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs. His topic was “Joseph Rotblat: A Singular Figure in 20th Century Nuclear Politics.”

The program and discussions with Dr. Boutwell reinforced my basic thoughts about nuclear politics. To be very brief:

The morality or immorality of dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The weather has turned sharply colder, especially in Eastern New Mexico. Anglers should be aware that several waters in the northeast are now closed to angling for the winter.

Maxwell Lake 13, the Charette Lakes and Clayton Lake are closed to protect migrating waterfowl.

Birdwatchers will enjoy these locations. Waterfowl are not the only birds that may be viewed. Raptors, including bald eagles, follow these flocks of waterfowl as they migrate south.

A nice road trip or perhaps overnight stay this time of year

The first cold nights sent Billy indoors. Aunt Ada always had room on the couch for Billy. It was different now, of course, since Desdemona passed away. She was good, for a cat. Now there was just Billy and the other cat, Boots, to share the couch.

Billy was no dummy. In the past three years or so, since he became the official town dog, he not only knew his duties, but his options as well. Billy’s duties were to see the children safely across the street to school (helped by Martin, the crossing guard) and to visit the residents of the Rest of Your Life retirement home.

A happy Veterans Day weekend to all of you veterans out there! … most especially to you who have been ordered to, and have endured, the trials and tribulations of combat zones. And, even more especially, to all of you who have physical and/or mental scars attesting to your courage and sacrifice more than any badge or medal or parade ever could. Thank you so much for your service to our nation and, ultimately, to her people.

And … it’s a doubly special day for Marines every year. November 10 is the much-hailed and hallowed Marine Corps birthday … the anniversary of the establishment Read More
