Ty's Take

Slow week up the valley, which around here usually means folks are out working—calving season doesn't wait for news cycles, and the acequia boards have their hands full sorting water rights before the runoff peaks. The quiet weeks are when you notice who's stayed and who's just passing through; the ones who know the Chama River's moods and the ones taking photos of Pedernal for their Instagram are two different kinds of people entirely. Come summer, when the second-home crowd rolls in and the art workshops fill up the rooms in Abiquiú, the valley will be full of voices again. For now, it belongs to the people who live here year-round.

Ty's Take Graduation, Memorial Day, and the annual FFA banquet all stacked up this week—the kind of calendar that reminds you this town still runs on the old rhythms, even with Spaceport America drawing eyes toward the stars. These aren't the flashy stories that make

Silver City Daily Digest Monday, May 25, 2026

Ty's Take You can feel something shifting in Silver City when the conversation moves from what we used to mine to what we might build next—and this week that conversation got a little more organized. The new economic committee digging into tax reports isn't glamorous

Pagosa Springs Daily Digest Monday, May 25, 2026

Ty's Take Memorial Day's coming up, which means we'll see the flags go in at the cemetery and hear the names read—the ones who didn't come home, the ones who did but left pieces of themselves somewhere else. That's
