"Precautions in the Brazos re: Bears"
The warm weather is not only bringing more water to the Canyon; it is also bringing bears. This is expected as such wildlife is natural to the area, who deserve to live in their habitat.
We need to be mindful of the bird feeders and humming bird feeders on our property that contribute greatly to these creatures being attracted to this food. New Mexico Game and Fish officers have advised us to remove such feeders at night. This suggestion is a chore but it is well worth it to avoid the bears coming uninvited to our property. The officers have indicated that lack of compliance to these measures could result in fines.
So, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the beauty and take in those feeders at nights.

New Chama Valley Supermarket
Chama's sole grocery store reopensCHAMA, N.M. (KRQE) - Ten months after Chama residents lost their only grocery store during a snowstorm, owners opened a brand-new Lowe's grocery store in the midst of another snowstorm. The northern New Mexico community has seen more than two feet of snow over the past several days. A snowstorm in early February caused the Lowe's store's roof to collapse, forcing residents to drive well out of town to get the necessities of life. "It's been really hard," said Chama resident Charmaine Salazar. "I was able to shop because I teach in Dulce, but I really miss the localness and having a store open and seeing people in the community." Since then, the debris has been cleared away and the store was rebuilt in the same area, this time with a pitched roof that's stronger than it needs to be, according to contractors. The new store is also a lot bigger than the old one, with 19,000 square feet of space, and new areas selling hardware and appliances.

As we get older, even some of the young folks, it gets harder to read the type on the computer monitors. So a good way to increase or decrease the size of the type on the monitor is as follows. If you have a mouse with a wheel. Most do.
