It's been more than four decades since former child star William “Billie” Thomas Jr. died in Los Angeles of a heart attack at only 49 on October 10, 1980. Best known as "Buckwheat," the character he portrayed in the original Hal Roach-ignited Our Gang/Little Rascals classic film shorts from 1934 to 1944, Thomas faced similar challenges and misfortunes of several of his co-stars and other former child actors. This is his story.

Race Landon was a 17-year-old teen from Wisconsin with his whole life ahead of him. Per PEOPLE, Landon attempted to use a tractor to pull out a tree that had fallen in his driveway. As Landon began pulling the tree, the front end of the tractor came upward while the rest of the tractor fell backward.

Angry Aurorans and Denverites on social media poked fun at the news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

We’re always showing Chad Ehrlich’s latest inventory at the wrecking yard, but we’re rarely able to show you where he’s found them and how they looked before he dropped them at the yard. Lucky for you, this video here is your chance to see just what Chad saw when he opened this barn door for the first time in decades. They are going to pull this one out, get it loaded up, and take it to the yard so it can be ready for someone else to come adopt it and give it a forever home.

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

My situation fits this predicament. I’m on the older end of millennials, and I own a home within a stone’s throw of the Colorado River. However, that home is 1,200 square feet and shared by three people, one of whom is a rambunctious toddler who overtakes more and more of the space with each passing week. Our garage is full of outdoor gear, but there’s certainly no room for anything larger than a bike. In the five years I’ve owned this house, the only watercraft I’ve had is a stand-up paddleboard that deflates after each use – fun, but not the type of craft you want to take fishing or on anything above Class II water. This summer, I finally changed that and acquired an Oru Kayak – the Beach LT Sport, specifically.
