In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Daulton Varsho hit a three-run home run, Jose Berrios dominated over seven innings and the Toronto Blue Jays finished off a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 9-2 victory on Wednesday night. Ernie Clement and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each hit a two-run home run and Berrios (11-9) gave up one run on two hits with a walk and five strikeouts as the Blue Jays pulled off their third series sweep of the season and second on the road. Varsho and Guerrero both had three hits and three RBIs, while Clement added a triple. “I like the way the guys are going about it,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “With the veteran guys leading the way, we have a lot of young dudes that are kind of learning as they go. When you get good starting pitching like we did, it makes it a lot easier. But I love the way the guys went about it after traveling to the West.”

St. Louis Cardinals top prospect Jordan Walker's second stint in the big leagues went horribly wrong, so much so that he was sent back down to Memphis just a month into the season. Walker rebounded nicely in Memphis, and over time has earned himself a promotion back to St. Louis.

While the Los Angeles Angels still have several weeks worth of games left, most fans have largely turned their attention and hopes towards the 2025 season. That isn't to say that what happens the rest of this season doesn't matter at all, but it matters more as to how these young guys develop heading into 2025 given where the Angels sit in the standings.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
