Bob’s Horse 
By Alice Waterman 
November 2003
 
Bob Waterman wanted a painted pony for the lobby of the new Hampton Inn built in White Rock. So, in September 2002, we went to Santa Fe one Saturday afternoon to look at a few on display. To my mind, they were very expensive, but Bob still wanted a horse. In mid November 2002, an unpainted pony was delivered

Gravity waves were detected in the universe for the first time on Sept. 14, 2015, a hundred years after they were predicted by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity. Even at the speed of light, they took 1.3 billion years to get here. The first detected gravitational waves were produced by a specific cataclysmic event, identified as two black holes coalescing, releasing enough energy in the last fraction of a second to warp time

Letter To The Editor: A Scary But Interesting Election

By E. ALAN WADLINGER
Los Alamos

I find this election to be both interesting and scary. On one side we have Hillary Clinton who can act at times as an ethically flawed individual but who does seem dedicated to helping the disadvantaged. 

On the other side we have Donald Trump to whom ethics appears to be a meaningless concept and acts as if he were the anti-Christ sent to fool the true believers.

Apparently ethically damaged individuals can even become saints, so Hillary will get my vote for President but not sainthood. I guess this implies that I am not one of Donald’s true believers.

Pastor Granillo: Encouraged

Pastor Raul Granillo
Los Alamos
 
Encouraged.

I remember being discouraged when I was a kid because we were “poor”. It didn’t help when my older brother would tell me about how great his life was back when him and mom lived in Chicago. He would brag about her great job and how his toys were so absolutely amazing. I would look at mine and think, “This is just not fair. I’ll never have what he had.”

As an adult, I think it’s still easy for me to look around at the world and think, “I am so far behind successful people that I could never catch up.” It can be discouraging for anyone when we compare our lives to Read More
