Dear Fellow New Mexicans, I am running for our children and grandchildren. I am running for jobs for New Mexicans. This state deserves a Land Commissioner who understands that optimizing the responsible use of our natural resources is how we put money into our permanent fund for education, and create opportunities for industries to add jobs. When it comes to managing our New Mexico State Trust Lands, I believe we should lead from New Mexico, not follow Washington, D.C., bureaucrats. Paid for by Aubrey Dunn Campaign.

Co-op Newswire Co-op Nation Visits Capitol Hill

Straight

pring weather in the nation’s capital can swing from cool and rainy to hot and humid, and in the past 41 years of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Legislative Conference, delegates have seen it all. But reading the legislative and regulatory barometer on issues of importance to 42 million electric cooperative members is crucial. In May, over 50 New Mexico electric cooperative leaders—trustees, managers and employees—were among the 2,000 NRECA participants who attended the Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. New Mexico participants trekked their way to Capitol Hill for meetings at U.S. Senate and House offices on May 6. Because Congress was in session, this year’s visits involved meetings directly with Senators Tom

Hello, Co-op Members: Have you ever asked yourself how often you need to service an HVAC system? According to a recent article on Angie's List, it’s a good idea to have it inspected and cleaned once a year to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. As the system runs, it accumulates dust and dirt in key areas that affect its efficiency, like the condensing coils and air filters. Left unchecked, the HVAC system can lose five percent of its operating efficiency each year through a buildup of this dust and dirt, meaning it can’t cool your house as capably as it could if it were clean. Many heating and cooling companies offer low-priced preventative maintenance inspections—costing on average between $60 and $100—in which they’ll clean your HVAC unit and replace your air filter. Remember to ask your electric co-op for rebates it may offer. These inspections are worth it and can pay for themselves through improved efficiency and a longer-lasting unit. A yearly maintenance check by a licensed HVAC expert can help reduce your monthly energy bill and help prevent earlier-than-normal breakdowns. Replacing your air conditioner, by contrast, will cost several thousand dollars. Even small repairs can run several hundred dollars. A qualified technician can often find and address small problems through a regular inspection that left unnoticed, could grow into larger, more expensive issues. Source: Angie's List.

Udall and Martin T. Heinrich. Co-op leaders also met with staff from Representatives Ben R. Luján, Michelle Lujan Grisham and Steve Pearce offices.

A Visit with Congress So what does a visit with members of our U.S. Congress entail? First and foremost, a comfortable pair of walking shoes. Forget the high-heels and steeltoed boots. Humor aside, a visit may entail asking a member of Congress to sign on to a letter of support, consider co-sponsoring a bill, or oppose proposed legislation or regulation deemed harmful to the interests of electric cooperative members and their communities. Prior to the congressional visits, cooperative leaders are briefed and educated by NRECA’s staff of lobbyists and industry experts about issues affecting electric cooperatives.

Expressing Thanks Relationship building is important with members of Congress, and so is expressing thanks for past assistance. Members of Congress and staff were thanked this year for their efforts regarding the pension plan.

On April 7, President Obama signed the Cooperative and Small Employer Charity Pension Flexibility Act into law. The law provides a permanent exemption for not-for-profit sponsors of multiple-employer pension plans, like electric co-ops in the RS Plan, from volatile and costly provisions of the 2006 Pension Protection Act. The temporary exemption was set to expire in 2017. The measure passed the House of Representatives by voice vote on March 24, after unanimously passing the Senate on January 28.

Until Next Year Sore feet and leg weary after a full-day of coursing through the halls of the Senate and House office buildings, New Mexico’s cooperative delegates successfully completed visits with all five congressional offices. Many have made the rounds before and are on a first-name basis with our Congressional leaders, for others, this was round one. However, all were in attendance for one important common factor: bringing the co-op voice to Washington, D.C., for electric cooperative members.

Celebrating 50 Years of Youth Tour

“

“If one thing goes out of this meeting, it will be sending youngsters to the national capital where they can actually see what the flag stands for and represents,” said

”

Senator Lyndon B. Johnson.

xperience of a lifetime. That’s how Rural Electric Youth Tour delegates describe their trip to Washington D.C. And this year, the Youth Tour turns 50! And oh, what a tour it’s been. For one week this June, our young people see firsthand the sights and sounds of our government in action. They interact with our Senators and Representatives. They learn about the electric cooperative movement and return home with a much broader appreciation of our great nation and its people. Youth Tour brings together some 1,600 teens from 43 states for a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity culminating in Washington, D.C. Students dance on a boat cruise down the Potomac River and see the roots of American history. They learn about electric co-ops and grassroots political advocacy. They live in close quarters for up to a week, and are given a small taste of freedom and independence. They sleep little, and talk a lot. These students become college roommates, professional colleagues, lifelong friends, and sometimes even spouses. Here in New Mexico, one Youth Tour alum is running for the state legislature—and we wish him

well. For some, it’s a fun trip that later brings fond memories. To others, Youth Tour inspires kids to discover the adults they’re going to be. For those accepted into the Youth Leadership Council, the experience is even richer. These students—one representative from each participating state—work the Congressional Action Center at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) Annual Meeting. They also participate in a special meeting one month after the Youth Tour to delve more deeply into leadership and cooperative grassroots issues. Much has changed during the past 50 years since Youth Tour was born, but the one constant is the students, who never fail to be amazed, inspired, humbled, and grateful, according to the faithful electric co-op employees who take new groups back to Washington every year. Youth Tour was born from a speech at the 1957 NRECA Annual Meeting by then Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. He was a longtime advocate of electric co-ops, having lobbied for the creation of Pedernales Electric Cooperative in 1937 as a young politician in Texas. “If one thing goes out of this meeting,

it will be sending youngsters to the national capital where they can actually see what the flag stands for and represents,” the future president said. With that encouragement, Texas electric co-ops began sending summer interns to work in the senator’s Washington, D.C., office. In 1958, an electric co-op in Iowa sponsored the first group of 34 young people on a weeklong study tour of the nation’s capital. Later that same year, another busload came to Washington from Illinois. The idea grew, and other states sent busloads of students throughout the summer. By 1959, the Youth Tour had grown to 130 participants. In 1964, NRECA began coordinating the official program. The New Mexico roll of past participants includes farmers, ranchers, state legislators, business owners, and a few congressional staffers. Former attendees now send their own sons and daughters to Youth Tour. With this type of endorsement, third generation participants are right around the corner. It’s a pleasure to see 35 young New Mexicans join the Youth Tour ranks this year. I’m sure they will represent themselves, their families and our co-op community well. And they will long remember this experience of a lifetime.

Hale to the stars BY ALAN HALE • A MONTHLY GUIDE TO THE STARS OF NEW MEXICO

fter dominating the evening sky for the past several months, Jupiter makes its departure in June. In the early part of the month, it is low in the western sky at the end of dusk and sets about an hour later. By the end of June, it sets well before the end of twilight. Along the way, it forms an interesting alignment with the “twin” stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini. After passing on the far side of the sun in late July, Jupiter emerges into the morning sky during the latter part of August.

The sun reaches its farthest north point, the solstice, early on Saturday morning, June 21, marking the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. As difficult as it may be to believe on hot summer days, Earth is actually farther from the sun now than it is during our winter; when farthest from the sun in early July, Earth will be 94.5 million miles away, compared to 91.4 million miles when nearest in early January. All other things being equal, then, the southern hemisphere will have slightly hotter summers, and slightly colder winters, than the northern hemisphere. However, all other things are not equal; because of the unequal distribution of continental land masses between the two respective hemispheres,

June 1974: Eagle Perches. The Rural Electrification Administration has answered the concern of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about many eagle electrocutions. Electric cooperatives with distribution lines in remote areas where eagles reign are now required to comply with REA Bulletin 61-10 and cooperate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by building perching places for eagles.

June 1994: Smokey the Bear Turns 50. He’s 50 this year and the folks of Capitan and the Lincoln National Forest are throwing big birthday bashes for their most famous native son. Smokey lived at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where millions of people visited him during his lifetime. Smokey’s body was returned to Capitan after his death in 1976.

June 2004: No Horsing Around in this Storm. Last April, over 1,200 customers lost power when a storm dropped heavy, wet spring snow on trees in the mountains north of Las Vegas. The branches broke under the weight and brought crucial power lines down with them.

Some instances snow was as high as four feet, but there wasn’t enough snow overall to use snowmobiles. —Editorial

things are much more complicated than they initially appear. The quest to understand the effects these various factors have on our climate and weather remains an ongoing effort in climate research.

Mars and Saturn remain as evening sky luminaries during June. Mars is high in the western sky during the evening hours, noticeably dimmer than it was when it was closer to Earth a couple of months ago, and sets one to two hours after midnight. Saturn, meanwhile, is at its highest point above the horizon during the mid-evening hours, then gradually travels westward through the remainder of the night before setting around the beginning of dawn. Venus continues to shine brightly in the eastern skies of dawn throughout June. On Tuesday morning, the 24, the thin crescent moon lies next to Venus, creating a striking pair of these two bright solar system objects.

Breakthrough technology converts phone calls to captions.

The Captioning Telephone converts phone conversations to easy-to-read captions for individuals with hearing loss.

Hello mrs fleming th is is dr martin how are yo u today? I just wante d to give you an update on your new prescriptio n

Do you get discouraged when you hear your telephone ring? Do you avoid using your phone because hearing difficulties make it hard to understand the person on the other end of the line? For many Americans the telephone conversation – once an important part of everyday life – has become a thing of the past. Because they can’t understand what is said to them on the phone, they’re often cut off from friends, family, doctors and caregivers. Now, thanks to innovative technology there is finally a better way. A simple idea… made possible with sophisticated technology. If you have trouble understanding a call, the Captioning Telephone can change your life. During a phone call the words spoken to you appear on the phone’s screen – similar to closed captioning on TV. So when you make or receive a call, the words spoken to you are not only amplified by the phone, but scroll across the phone so you can listen while reading everything that’s said to you. Each call is routed through a call center, where computer technology – aided by a live representative – generates immediate voice-to-text translations. The captioning is real-time, accurate and readable. Your conversation is private and the captioning service doesn’t cost you a penny. Captioned Telephone Service (CTS) is regulated and funded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is designed exclusively for individuals with hearing loss. In order to use CTS in your home, you must have standard telephone service and high-speed Internet connectivity where the phone will be used. Callers do not need special equipment or a captioning phone in order to speak with you. Finally… a phone you can use again. The Captioning Telephone is also packed with features to help make phone calls easier. The keypad has large, easy to use buttons. You get adjustable volume

SEE what you’ve been missing!

“For years I avoided phone calls because I couldn’t understand the caller… now I don’t miss a thing!” amplification along with the ability to save captions for review later. It even has an answering machine that provides you with the captions of each message. See for yourself with our exclusive home trial. Try the Captioning Telephone in your own home and if you are not completely amazed, simply return it within 60-days for a refund of the product purchase price. It even comes with a 5-year warranty.

❧ Preheat a grill to medium high. Form beef into four 6-ounce patties, about ¾-inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a ½-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grill grates with oil; place patties on grill indentation—side up; grill until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm. During the last minute of grilling, brush the patties with the hoisin sauce. Remove to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, brush the scallions with sesame oil, season with salt, and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and tender; cut into 4-inch pieces. Grill the buns, cut-side down, until lightly toasted. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Sriracha, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and sesame oil and spread on buns. Top the bun bottoms with cucumber, burger patties and scallions; cover with the bun tops. Makes 4 servings. 8

❧ Preheat oven to 350° F and ignite barbecue grill about 40 minutes later. To make the marinade, grind cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and cloves in a pestle and mortar with some salt and pepper. Finely chop thyme and rosemary leaves, orange zest and garlic together. Transfer to a bowl with the ground spices; add the remaining marinade ingredients and mix well. Rub chicken all over with marinade. Place chicken in roasting pan, top with any leftover marinade, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Finish chicken on a medium hot grill. Place carefully on oiled bars of the barbecue and sear well on 1 side; turn it over. While it’s cooking, use reserved rosemary sprigs to baste chicken with the sticky juices from the

bottom of the roasting pan. Keep turning and brushing the meat until you’ve built up a lovely sticky, charred crust. Remove from barbecue and let rest on a serving dish for a few minutes. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan on the grill or over a gas burner and let the juices simmer and reduce a bit. Tear the chicken into pieces, and serve with a bowl of marinade juices from the roasting pan. Recipe excerpted from JAMIE AT HOME by Jamie Oliver, Copyright© 2008. This recipe can also be used to barbecue a 7-pound leg of lamb on the bone, slashed evenly ¼-inch deep (bake in oven 1½ hours before grilling) or 4¼-pounds pork rib racks.

Energy Sense BY JAMES DULLEY Advantages of Geothermal Heat Pumps

ear Jim: I have an old inefficient propane furnace and central air conditioner. I was thinking of replacing them with a geothermal heat pump. Does this sound like a good idea and what types are best? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Steve H. Dear Steve: With all the problems last winter with propane shortages and the price uncertainty of natural gas, many people are considering geothermal heat pumps. In fact, I just installed a variable-speed WaterFurnace 7-Series geothermal heat pump in my own home. In addition to extremely efficient and comfortable heating, a geothermal heat pump also is the most efficient central air-conditioning system available. During summer, when in the cooling mode, it provides free water heating for additional savings. Even though the overall geothermal heat pump installed cost is higher than other heat pump systems because of the ground loop, it will pay back its higher cost in savings. Also, if one is installed by 2016, there is a 30-percent federal tax credit on the total cost. The difference between a

standard and a geothermal heat pump is the geothermal unit uses liquid-filled (water/antifreeze mix) piping in the ground instead of the outdoor condenser unit. Since the ground stays at a fairly constant temperature, it is extremely efficient year-round. Most people install deep vertical loops, but I have a large backyard, so I installed a five-foot-deep horizontal loop. The big advantage, during winter, is the heating output of a geothermal system does not drop as it gets colder outdoors. This is when your house also needs the most heat. For this reason, the expensive backup electric resistance heating very seldom comes on with a geothermal heat pump. I chose this WaterFurnace model because, with its variablespeed compressor, it has the highest heating and cooling efficiencies. The heating COP (coefficient of performance) is 5.3. Using the free heat from underground, it produces more than $5 worth of heat for each $1 on my utility bill. When cooling during the summer, the EER (energy efficiency ratio) is as high as 41. This is more than twice as efficient as

the best new standard heat pumps and central air conditioners. Instead of the heat from the house being exhausted outdoors and wasted, it goes into the water heater for free heat. For extra savings, I also installed an optional hot water assist unit.

vehicle—never touching the ground and the vehicle at the same time. Then bunny hop with feet together to safety.

f you’re ever riding in a vehicle and for any reason it leaves the road and hits a utility pole, do you know what to do? The answer is: Stay in the Vehicle! Your first instinct may be to get out and see if everyone’s OK, but you can’t do that when you hit a utility pole. Don’t open the doors; don’t step outside. Your life may depend on it. Warn those with you to stay in the vehicle, too! The reason? Power lines may have fallen and could be energized. Overhead power lines are tightly mounted atop poles. But, whenever a vehicle strikes a pole, a pole can snap or the power lines can break loose and fall to the ground. Power lines could fall on your vehicle or drop nearby. If you get out, you could become the path to ground

New Mexico: A Glimpse Into an Enchanted Land

Here’s another intriguing ghost tale from Chris Eboch. Eleven-year-old Tania and her thirteen-year-old brother Jon, are guests at an old hotel in Colorado while their parents produce a reality ghost hunter TV show. Little do the parents know their daughter can see ghosts, in this case, a mournful bride who doesn’t realize both she and the groom have been dead about 100 years. Jon and Tania team up to identify the haunted bride through research at the historical society and library. Their findings lead to an old graveyard outside of town. Can they reunite the unhappy newlyweds and free them to go on to “whatever happens next?” Chris Eboch, who has written many books for young people, also co-authored a book about the childhood of a famous American athlete, Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics in Nazi Germany. For more “Haunted” books with Tania and Jon, see on Amazon: The Riverboat Phantom and The Ghost Miner’s Treasure.

This is a well researched, encyclopedic guidebook to the Land of Enchantment that makes an effort to be politically correct whether the subject is the controversial Kit Carson or Lozen, the “liberated” Warm Springs Apache warrior woman who rode with the men into combat and used her psychic powers to protect her tribe. She could stand on top of a mesa, turn to the four directions and feel, by the tingling in her hands, how close the enemy was and from which direction they would approach. The book includes photos and maps, a prehistoric and historic view of this multi-cultural state, a calendar of statewide celebrations, forbidden descriptions of ceremonies at the pueblos, New Mexican cuisine, and mucho mas. Though the writing is sometimes awkward, marred by exclamation points!!, and repeated information—hey, it’s a guidebook, not Literature, so it serves the purpose. McWilliams even includes a glossary of primarily Spanish terms. An excellent deal for the price.

The history of the Las Vegas Land Grant, a settlement along the Gallinas River founded in 1835, is a convoluted one because of the many paths that crossed here. The author identifies with the evolution of a Hispano mountain culture that was based on a feudal system, but determined to survive through faith, ingenuity and communal values. Blackshear captures the essence of the times with: “Serenity and danger seemed intertwined, different coils of the same knot, pulled together by a variety of competing senses and priorities.” Territorial Las Vegas was transformed by the coming of the railroad and an ever-expanding population of Easterners while the bison that the Comanches depended on grew scarce. Though Blackshear champions the underdog, he also shows how the violent acts of the disenfranchised evolved through barn burning and fence cutting to political activism and success at the ballot box. A compelling read.

Surfing the Seconds By Vincent Lowry 2013, 77 pages, $6.29 paperback www.amazon.com This is Lowry’s third book of poetry. The first was Dreams Reign Supreme and the second Constellation Chronicles. The cover of Surfing the Seconds, designed by Ellie Bockert Augsburger shows a clear and intriguing image, something that matters when you want to catch the eye of a customer. Lowry’s poetry is straightforward without unexpected twists or metaphoric mysteries. Sometimes poignant, often sentimental, in “Lifted” he writes, “Floating through this ignited/city I see souls in search/ of missing halves. In “Taos” he writes, “Pines fill the horizon/on a mountain/ cut with valleys of white./Beneath this ocean sky/my son straightens his tiny skis between mine…” Readers may not be ecstatic, but neither will they be yanked out of their skis on the way down. It’s a gentle, family-oriented ride that deserves a G-rating all the way.

t’s fire season. Little rain and snow fell this winter therefore, everything is in place for a devastating wildfire season. The only thing missing is a spark! Following are tips to help prevent wildfires.

Be ready with water and a fire extinguisher to put out accidental sparks. Report fires. Call 9-1-1.

Vehicle travel provides opportunities for sparks and heat sources to ignite dry, fine grasses. Keep tires properly inflated, and maintain brakes. Shorten towing safety chains. Ensure nothing is dragging beneath the vehicle (exhaust pipes). Park away from grasses; catalytic converters are hot and can start fires.

Power equipment like mowers, weed trimmers, and tractors can spark a wildfire when used at the wrong time of day, in windy conditions, or in the wrong way.

Carry a fire extinguisher in your car. Know how to use it. Never dispose of a cigarette or cigar that is lit. Check with your local government to see if fireworks are permitted. Report all fires: call 9-1-1. For fire restrictions and closures, visit www.nmfireinfo.com or call 1-877-864-6985.

Do yard work before 10:00 a.m., when temperatures are down and the relative humidity is higher. Use string vegetation trimmers to cut tall, dry grass. Grind, sharpen, and weld on a paved, enclosed area. Remove rocks to avoid metal mower blades hitting rocks and creating sparks.

Tools, Tractors, Bits, and Spurs T

ools, tractors, bits, and spurs. Sounds like an old country song. Instead, these are treasures. Treasures of Jim Woods. Woods isn’t quite sure when his hand-me-downs and farm sale buckets of odds and ends became a collection. It grew when after serving in the Infantry in World War II, he came home to farm. Trips to farm sales yielded a few items to add to those given to him by his father and father-in-law. One day, he built a large building just to display the tools, bits, spurs, old tractors, and other treasures of days long ago. Woods started written records to help him keep track of the hundreds of tools, some very old, which hang in tidy rows on the side and back walls of his building. He points out the markings on a Diamond Caulk Horseshoe wrench, and wrenches with Heller Bros. Co., inscribed on each handle. There is a group of wooden levels and planes, steel planes, and old irons, including the “Sad Irons” that were heated on wood stoves and had a removable handle. Several old cast iron pots and skillets include one that belonged to Jim’s Grandmother Woods. And, there’s a Black Hawk grinder that came from Montgomery Ward. Colloquially called “Monkey Wards.” Farm equipment includes an egg scale, used to weigh eggs intended for the hatchery; a cream separator; a wooden pitchfork Woods and his wife, Margie, purchased on a trip to Spain which sports an Olive tree handle; a wooden corn planter; and a variety of shovels. Huge metal tongs, painted bright red and resembling ice tongs, were used to put cross-ties on railroad tracks. A really fascinating item is a buffalo hide skinning knife, a special tool necessary because hides of buffalo were so tough. Further along the wall is his equipment from World War II—boots and leggings, a bayonet, and a canteen. Woods says the soldiers were

The big room also houses a forge and anvil carried from Illinois to Oklahoma City to Grady by his Grandfather Woods. Larger displays are two John Deere tractors. A 1928 John Deere D with lugs and an A-34 John Deere with rubber tires. Woods says he has two other old, restored tractors but is reluctant to start them and chance harming their new paint. A huge Conoco gravity gas pump takes up one corner. He added a smaller room to house his collection of bits, spurs, old toys, and many Hesston belt buckles. The bits and spurs include several O.K. Spurs, which could be purchased for 98 cent at Sears-Roebuck; U.S. Army R.I. A. (Rock Island Arsenal) 1914 bits; and several prison made spurs. The shank on these was in the shape of a boot—when the prisoner’s time was up, he could “walk out” of prison. Jim and Margie Woods both attended Grady School, but met at the Grady Methodist Church. They married before he left for the service. He says he was on a ship headed for Japan, expecting to launch landing craft in Japan, when the atomic bomb was dropped. The ship was turned around in mid-ocean and sent to the Philippines. The couple has always lived and farmed in the Broadview-Grady area, building a home there in 1950 using salvaged timbers from the existing structure. They have two sons: John Pat Woods who is a New Mexico State Senator and Mike Woods who is an athletic director at a school in Georgia.

Out with the Old, in with the New

clothes are actually dry. Energyefficient washing machines have water

saving features, motors, and a highspeed spin cycle that removes virtually

all of the water from clothing. This allows for less drying time.

By Bret Curry, residential energy manager, Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp.

ajor home appliances are not meant to last forever. Most major appliances have a planned obsolescence of 10 years. If a major appliance provides more than 10 years of service, a consumer has certainly gotten his or her money’s worth—or have they? Most would likely admit if the refrigerator is not broken, there is no need to fix it. Also, many homeowners will not consider replacing appliances until the kitchen needs remodeling or they are moving into a new house. Homeowners often will take the repair approach because the repair cost is less expensive than purchasing a replacement unit. The reality is over time, the overall energy efficiency of a home’s appliances can drop significantly because of aging parts, malfunctioning controlling devices, bad seals and other failing components. For instance, a bad thermostat on a dryer will cause it to continue drying even when clothes are dry. A bad seal on the freezer or refrigerator will cause the unit to cycle frequently. Older refrigerators equate to additional energy consumption. Even though you may have gotten your money’s worth out of an appliance, you may be spending far more on electricity than the unit is worth. It is not always obvious when an older appliance has become an energy waster. Today’s technology is a friend when it comes to energy-efficient appliances. Older motor and controller technology is less efficient than today’s technology. For instance, programmability and energy-saving functions are available on many appliances. Energyefficient clothes dryers are available with humidity-sensing controls that cause the dryer to shut down when

The washing machine doesn’t do the laundry. Power does. Power works tirelessly around the house. It helps us do the things we need to do — and lets us do the things we want to do.
