Speaking of the 4th of July preparations are underway for the 4th of July Parade in Alamogordo. Come celebrate 4th of July

Friday, July 4 at 10:00 am Starting on Cuba Ave and ending at Maryland Ave on 10th Street, scan the QR code to sign up.
We can’t wait to see you all and celebrate together.
Mayor Pro Temp Sharon McDonald encourages students, civic organizations and the community to sign up, participate and make this the best ever. Her team is diligently working on her submission reminding the community of community pride in cleaning up Alamogordo. Community clean up is patriotic...

Looking at the city's website, I don't see anything about 4th of July fireworks, so it looks like this is meant to replace the usual fireworks show.
While the show might look cool for those that can actually get close enough to see it, I doubt that it will even come close to the excitement, pride, and patriotism that a fireworks show engenders.
Maybe if they launched the fireworks at the drones?
I was interested, went, and met the Mayor. Then, today, I obtained her records from Indiana University. Her grades were far below good. She skated out with a nothing-burger. What are her qualifications to pontificate about issues like nuclear fallout?
Mister Edwards, please make sure when I post that my name shows up.
I am neither afraid nor embarrassed by my statements. Thank you sir.
Sunny, with a high of 96 and low of 74 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
Meanwhile, gigawatts of free energy fall on Alamogordo's sand and rock every day, unused.
and, we find ourselves bombarded with numerous proposed data centers which if permitted will devour tremendous amounts of both electrical power, and water - neither of which can be spared.
Valid point. Similar to all the gallons of free water directed through town out into the desert every time it rains.
i hope that some arrangement can be made to preserve this scientific and historic facility - but given a basic understanding of the leakage in the floatation bearing, i fear that it is a long-shot proposition.
this is a classic example of a two-edged sword - the potential for both positive and negative results is very apparent.
I am very happy that we are keeping them. Let's see how things go.
two very difference visions of what our government should look like, and how it should function...one is, go along to get along - the other says search for the truth. it is past time for the truth to be told, to not spare the horses, to let the chips fall where they may.
whose side are you on?
I thought I read here that John Block sux ****? That's not cool. It's a sin.
A sin? According to whose invisible friend? Yours? Those aluminum cans are calling.
block is JAR - just another republican - co-operating to "block" the evidence that their dear leader was involved in plenty of the nastiest of the epstein shenanigans. i can only hope that the survivors, and the public, live long enough for the truth to be revealed.
Is that kinda like being a RINO?
I think I read here a month ago that John Block sux cokc? That's not dignified of our leadership. It's a sin.
