Ty's Take
Labor Day's barely in the rearview and already the calendar's filling up with the things that hold a small town together, the way it actually works when you're living on the plateau. A Jewish new year, a church kicking back into gear, iris swaps with neighbors you'll see at the grocery store, and a formal nod to Hispanic heritage that reminds us this county's story didn't start with the Lab. Then there's Bill Boedeker's passing, another name from the old days leaving the community a little quieter. Meanwhile, that new wildfire alert down in the Espanola district is the kind of news that makes September feel shorter every year around here. This time of year you realize Los Alamos isn't just a scientific outpost, it's a real place where people mark time the way people always have, except everyone's watching the fire season and the weather reports like a second job.
