While technically today is not a holiday, many people have taken advantage of the calendar and created a four day holiday weekend for themselves. Today is day 2 and we have another steamy day in the Northeast & Mid Atlantic states. High humidity, sunshine, hot temperatures and the risk for some scattered thunderstorms pretty much describe a typical July day. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with cooler readings at the shore.

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.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
