OPINION
I think this week’s Reporter cover was just wrong. Not edgy, not cool, just someone trying to get attention for their work in all the wrong ways. No finesse, no elegance, just trash. Apparently, nothing is sacred anymore. That is the problem with the world.

Once again, the Rio Grande south of Albuquerque has dried. As summer begins and water is diverted into irrigation canals, the river slows and then separates into puddles. At first, footprints crisscross the riverbed. Coyotes, raccoons, lizards, birds: they’ll all approach the water while it lasts.

When she was 50, Rosa Weiss made the riskiest gamble of her career: going back to college to earn a teaching degree. She’d abandoned a more lucrative administrative career path to fulfill a “lifelong dream” of real classroom instruction. She borrowed $33,000 in student loans to earn her degree at the College of Santa Fe.

Ortiz, who managed $540 million in federal contracts at Los Alamos National Laboratory for 27 years before coming to DOH in 2008, was fired last year partly for “disingenuous or irresponsible communication with the media.” This followed six months he spent on paid administrative leave, which he estimates cost taxpayers around $50,000.

Located just 30 minutes north of Santa Fe, in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the scenic town was founded by the Spanish near the end of the 17 th century. It thrived thanks to the gumption of its settlers, who quickly became experts in stock raising, farming and wool weaving—traditions still visible today.

At first, it seemed to suggest that Behrens and others were doing political work on state time. But Behrens insisted that his email was official business. (Still, while state agencies are not required to create new records where none exist, in this case, they did.

Montgomery announces a smattering of wedding anniversaries that predate my very birth between songs and, at one point, dives into a beautiful and flourish-heavy version of “When You Wish Upon a Star.” His ability to add as many freaking notes as possible into the song reminds me of how lonely I am and how I used to have the capacity to love people.

I’m a straight guy in my early 30s with an amazing girlfriend of two years. A few months ago, I felt open enough to share my taboo fantasy: father/daughter incest. My GF, to my delight, not only understands the fantasy but enjoys participating in it! Quickly: I have ZERO interest in this kind of thing actually happening.

It’s a boiling hot Tuesday with a gusty warm breeze, and the horchata ($3) tastes like a milky oasis. After searching in the signature New Mexico sun for over an hour for a different food truck, I feel blessed to be sitting on a plastic orange bench in a little bit of shade, sipping on ice-cold cinnamon milk.

So, why not tackle Shakespeare? Why not cast your friends (many of the actors have appeared in Whedon’s TV shows and movies)? Why not let the words roll trippingly on the tongue (wrong play, but whatevs)? Why not shoot an ultra lowbudget version in your own home in 12 days? WHY NOT?.

Great mysteries will be tempting you to come closer and lost secrets will be teasing you with juicy clues. As you explore and tinker with the unknown, you might also want to meditate on the graffiti I saw scrawled on a mirror in a public restroom: “Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
