Another gusty morning in spring: Reading the New York Times on an IPad and bird watching through the window. Little snow left on the mountain, no superbloom on the hills. Jerry Seinfeld, confronted with the Israel-Hamas war, the Times says, “can no longer be about nothing.” On Monday, neighbors and pueblo leaders will celebrate a new Interior Department order barring mineral development on 4,000-some acres of Placitas-area BLM land, including 195 acres just south of my window, where Cowboy2 and I walked yesterday and probably will again today.
