Back in the early 1970s, a full-size Detroit sedan or coupe was still considered the American basic transportation unit. Ford was a superpower in that department in 1973, with the big Ford available as the Custom 500, Galaxie 500, LTD, and LTD Brougham that year. And if you wanted a wagon, sporty car, or econo-commuter, Dearborn had you covered in those departments as well.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

A developing tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is showing increasing potential to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico, intensify, and impact areas along the Gulf Coast, likely between Florida and Louisiana. If the system gains a name, it will be designated Tropical Storm Debby. This system has the potential to bring significant rainfall to the eastern Gulf Coast, and depending on its strength, could also generate hazardous winds and a dangerous storm surge.

Laguna Seca is a beloved gem of American auto racing, but its future has not been certain these past few years. The track needed new operators, and a contentious bidding process left its future direction in the air even before a local group sued over usage and noise levels. An operating group was selected, the lawsuit was settled, and as of Thursday, the Friends of Laguna Seca group has officially taken over Laguna Seca for the next 55 years.

A Virginia man is demanding a political action committee stop using his photograph to promote a Wyoming legislative candidate of the same name — or face legal action. Make Liberty Win, a Virginia-based PAC , has been sending text messages and mailers to Wyoming voters, and knocking on doors in support of various legislative candidates, but has failed to provide accurate information. Many of the candidates the PAC is supporting are either members of, or ideologically aligned with, the hard-line Wyoming Freedom Caucus.

Denver doesn’t look very “vibrant,” to use the mayor’s term, when bus stops are transformed into open-air drug dens. In fact, the people who smoke meth and fentanyl in homeless encampments, in front of businesses and walking down the street are tarnishing the reputation of Denver’s unhoused neighbors.
