OPINION — Living in the desert means living with limits, and water is the first one we should respect. Every summer reminds us that we are not fighting the heat, we are living in it. That means using our resources wisely, planting what survives here naturally and stopping the waste we see every day on our streets and sidewalks.

OPINION — Many of us spend time on online platforms watching news, current events, history, health information and other topics that interest us. They are remarkable sources of knowledge.

Does the Transportation Security Administration want to measure your luggage? You might be forgiven for thinking so after an aviation blog breathlessly reported that the agency's new 3D scanners have smaller entry tunnels than the old X-ray machines. An oversize carry-on might not fit through, the report warned. Screeners could send you back to the airline counter to check it.

OPINION — I was 13 years old. We’d just returned from Christmas vacation, and I was asleep in my room. My mother tells me she heard a noise and found me in my bed, twisted up like a clam, frothing at the mouth. She was in shock. The paramedics came and took me to the ER. I don’t remember anything about it.

Gov. Matt Meyer recently vetoed a line item in the fiscal 2027 bond bill that would have appropriated $35 million toward a Legislative Hall expansion. “When I hear from people who cannot afford their first home, or who pay more for childcare than their mortgage, or who cannot afford to see a doctor, I cannot support $35 million to expand Legislative Hall,” he stated. How do you feel about this move? Did the governor make a responsible choice?
