Ty's Take
You notice something when you've been in a town long enough: the small victories and the quiet losses are often the same story, just different angles. Today's paper holds both—kids from the School for the Visually Impaired out in the sun doing what kids ought to do, a tennis team that came up short at state, and two names in the obituaries that meant something to people who'll miss them. That's not a slow day in Alamogordo, that's just what Thursday looks like. The base keeps humming, the missiles stay pointed at the range, and life keeps moving through the Tularosa the way it always has—some days you advance, some days you don't, but you show up tomorrow anyway.
