Government legislation seldom accomplishes its stated intention. But one bill approved by New Mexico lawmakers this week is certain to make things better for us all — because it relaxes government oversight. Senate Bill 56, sponsored by Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, and signed by Gov. Susana Martinez, lifts restrictions on hay hauling. Before Tuesday, oversized loads of hay could only be transported on national highways. SB 56 allows permitted vehicles to haul hay on state roads as well. It took drought conditions to spur t... Full story

I had to stand in line the other day. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with standing in line, I get into the Zen of it: If I am to stand in line, I will stand in line. In my younger years I would’ve been fuming. Over time I’ve learned various ways to deal with waiting in line. Some places handle lines by having you take a number. I’d walk into the place and take a number from the number thingy. Let’s say I’d have number 74. I’d look up at the electronic sign that said, “NOW SERVING NUMBER 43.” I’d guesstimate how muc...

It was a normal, insignificant day, the kind of day where the sight of grown man covering his face with his hands, shoulders heaving, was not what I expected as I rounded the corner. It was a scene especially surprising because I was accustomed to his smiling face and cheerful greetings as I passed his workstation on a regular basis. When I asked if he was alright, he turned to me a little embarrassed, wiping his eyes, and said simply, "My dog died." A phrase universally used...
