Louisianans are a different breed.

Of course anybody who lives and works near the swamps and encounters alligators on a daily basis is already wired differently than I am. Up here in Nashville the only thing I have to deal with are the occasional deer jumping out in front of me while I'm driving, maybe a raccoon or a skunk in my backyard, and of course the worst animal of all: Bachelorette parties.

But Louisiana is home to an estimated 2 million wild alligators, and those swamp puppies can do some serious damage (although they're also delicious, so there's that).

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.

The devil may have gone down to Georgia, but it appears he took a detour to a bar in Nashville and possessed a middle-aged mom on his way down there. In a TikTok video that's been viewed 5.5 million times, Olivia Reeth's daughter shared that her family had gone to the Whiskey Bent Saloon in Nashville and was watching the Moonshine Outlaw Band perform. Her mom told the band she played the fiddle, and mid-song, the fiddle player decided to hand his instrument over to her. You kind of have to wonder what the guy was thinking. Did he imagine she'd be able to keep up with the band? Did he figure she'd play a few bars and then hand it back? 

A mom mentioned she played the fiddle so the bar band handed her one. She totally shredded.

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.
