  • Snakes worthy of our nightmares

    Earlier this month local authorities in California warned residents that a 23-foot long python was on the loose. The 130-pound female snake, which belongs to Brandon Dennis, is large enough to eat small children.

    The enormous python was later found basking in the sun in a backyard “several blocks” from Brandon’s home.  There were no immediate reports of missing children or pets, so it’s likely the snake’s day on-the-town resulted in nothing more than heart palpitations for the neighbors.

  • PEN&INKee^POSSIBILITIES:Moving up

    Sometimes things would be easier if life imitated the movies.

    When I moved out of my studio apartment last week, I wistfully thought of Carrie Bradshaw’s move in “Sex and the City.” She had moving down right. Plug in the music, pop the champagne and magically everything gets neatly packed and re-moved.

    Reality, as we all know, is far messier. There aren’t enough boxes, packing material or patience to get the job quickly completed.

    Plus, you have to wipe away the evidence that you ever set foot in the old residence.

  • Not just another 9 to 5 job

    Some people go to offices and work in cubicles. They punch the clock at 9 a.m. and then punch out at 5 p.m. Their efforts reward them with plaques or certificates of appreciation.

     

    New Mexico National Guardsman Master Sgt. Jason Riley has done things a little differently.

     

    Riley, a 1988 graduate of Los Alamos High School, has spent his entire career in the military. He served the first four years in the U.S. Army and for the last 15 years, he has been active in the New Mexico National Guard.
