Ty's Take

There's something worth paying attention to in what people do with their hands when the world gets too loud. The Bulletin's piece on local artists finding their way back to creative work—painting, pottery, whatever it is that makes them lose track of time—hits on something real about this valley.

Pagosa Springs Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take There's something worth watching in how a small town keeps its culture alive, and this week Pagosa's got three chances to see it happening. A kid named Travers Vasek is playing a senior recital—that's the moment when a young

Las Cruces Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take There's a particular weight to a Tuesday morning when the paper leads with the names of people who won't be around to read it. George Jackson made it to seventy; Paul Lawrence to eighty-four—both solid runs in this valley where the
