Ty's Take

Most folks around here know the difference between having time and taking time, and that gap's been widening for years. The water's been good to this basin when we've had it, and whether someone's casting a line at Alamogordo Lake or just sitting quiet on the bank, there's something that happens out there that doesn't happen in town—a kind of settling that you can't buy and can't manufacture. With everything spinning faster these days, from the base to the construction sites to all the talk about what this town's going to become, maybe the real news isn't that people are fishing. Maybe it's that they're finally remembering they can.
