A slew of burglaries at Denver cannabis dispensaries have city regulators wondering: Could the same thing happen at psilocybin mushroom therapy centers?. Colorado voters recently decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms for therapeutic use. Soon companies small and large will begin cultivating the mushrooms and so-called “therapy centers” will administer it. In some instances, cultivation and administration will be at one site.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

49ers running back and future Hall of Famer Christian McCaffrey and gorgeous model Olivia Culpo became husband and wife over the weekend. The two said “I do” in Rhode Island on June 29th in a beautiful but simple ceremony. Classy and elegant are two other perfect descriptors for Ms. Culpo’s look. McCaffrey and Culpo have been together since 2019 and have been engaged for over a year. It was about time for the running back to lock it down. After all, Culpo broke her rule of not dating another athlete for him. It’s the least he could do.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

One might be wise to wait until after Independence Day to adopt one of these cats. They just don't like the noise of fireworks, which, combined with the sudden, scary changes of a new home might not make for a great start.
