Aries (March 21-April 19)
Enjoy basking in the glow of your happiness this week. Times have been tough the last couple of weeks, and you were really sinking into a gloom, zombie type state – just going through the motions of life, and basically sucking the life out of the party. Now this has passed, share your happiness...
Reflection on New Mexico’s Fifty-Second Legislature
The 2015 Legislative Session started on January 20th at noon and ended at noon on March 31st. This session marks my 25th session as a member of the House, including regular, special and extraordinary sessions. My standing committees for each of those sessions are the House Appropriations and Finance Committee and the House Transportation and Public Works Committee.Each Session starts about the same way, the legislators living outside of the Santa Fe area move to Santa Fe a day or two before the session starts, bright eyed and anxious for the session to start. It is not unlike children going back to school after a long summer. You can feel the excitement among the hotel staff and...
Schaller ponders new Gallup sports competition
The ‘athlon’ competitions feature multiple events rewarding a compilation of diverse achievement. Most of these are strictly measures of athletic ability such as the triathlon, heptathlon and decathlon.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!
Dear Mexican: Why do Mexican men have thicker hair than Caucasian men? Because I’ve seen more Mexican men with thicker hair and a lot more of it that Caucasian men. Why? Is it because it runs in the genes? (I am only asking about hair on the head not body hair).Frankie
Dear Gabacho: It’s ALWAYS about the genes for Mexicans, whether it’s our love of tortillas and tamales (indigenous ancestors), beer (Germans), or frizzy hair (the negritos in our family tree that no one ever acknowledges even though your brother was born with a Jheri curl that made Lionel Richie’s mane seem as florid as a high and tight). The same influence applies male-pattern baldness. Scientific consensus...
ASK A MEXICAN!
By Gustavo Arellano Dear Mexican: Do Mexicans know that if just one of their grandparents was born in Spain, they could immigrate immediately not just to Spain, but also any other country in the European Union? I know this is not an option for a lot of Mexicans, but it certainly seems like a better one for those that have the “Spanish” option. Spain is a First World country with free health care, seven-hour work days and, quite simply, Spanish people seem to share much more in common with Mexicans. Don’t get me wrong: I think that they are a great thing for America, and that anyone who wants to live here should be able to, yet I am also a realist. I only bring this up because...
