Short-track racing always seems to lead to some tempers. On Sunday night in Richmond, both Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin have good reason to let their tempers show. On the last lap of Sunday's Cook Out 400, Logano held the race lead over Austin Dillon. Dillon, needing a win to make the NASCAR playoffs, drove into Turn 3 as hard as he could. What happened next was a finish that will undoubtedly go down in NASCAR history, but not for a good reason.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

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.
