Heavy Petting, Aug. 10: “Time for the Big Cool Down”
Stay cool
Well-written and informative, as always. And I love the name of the column.

Online, Aug. 9: “Faith not Bombs”
We shall see
A wonderful event, very moving to see the Trinity Test Downwinders with tears streaming from their eyes as Archbishop John Wester blessed them and asked for their healing. Regis Pecos, ex-governor of Cochiti Pueblo, was a very powerful speaker on the interfaith panel. He called for the collective sharing of stories by those adversely affected by nuclear weapons production, from the Indigenous uranium miners to the pueblos contaminated by the Los Alamos Lab (including Cochiti Lake) to those working on nuclear weapons abolition, in order to build a movement. Could that actually happen in this poor state of New Mexico? We shall see, but at least the Mass and interfaith panel hosted by the Santa Fe Archdiocese is a start, one that our New Mexican congressional delegation should pay heed to instead of showering expanding nuclear weapons programs with taxpayers’ money. You can hear the Archbishop’s remarkable homily commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Nagasaki plutonium bombing (starting at 15:15).

A/C, Aug. 10: “Best. Predator. Ever.”
Agree
I saw Prey on Hulu. I loved it! I was on the edge of my seat for the entire movie. Bravo!
