During this summer heat wave, all we can think about is an ice-cold dessert to cool us down. When it’s this hot, no one wants to turn on the oven—in fact, we barely want to go to the grocery store, because that requires extra time spent outside transporting our rapidly-thawing groceries into the house.

One of the best parts of ordering a pizza — besides not having to cook — might actually be a second time in everything that's left over. But if you aren't careful, you could expose yourself to foodborne illness by either not properly storing leftovers or eating them too long after they were cooked. Perishable foods don't last forever, so next time you go to grab a slice of pizza from the fridge or that pizza box you left on the counter, check yourself to make sure it won't make you sick.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
