Florida baseball two-way superstar Jac Caglianone was selected sixth overall in the 2024 MLB draft by the Kansas City Royals on Sunday night. Caglianone, a projected top-five pick coming into the draft, saw a bit of a draft-night slide, but he’s still the highest-drafted first baseman in Florida Gators history. Appropriately, Caglianone passed Matt LaPorta (seventh overall in 2007) on that list, the same legendary Gators slugger he overtook for the program’s career home run record at the College World Series.

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.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

I walk every day at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Park Hill. A few days ago, I noticed for the first time what appeared to be exceptionally large hornets, or dragonflies, buzzing between the trees. These beasts can fly up and down or left and right and are extremely fast. They will whiz past your head as you walk past the trees they are buzzing around. They seems to be roosting in the pines.

Opinion: Giant insects buzz around MLK Jr. Park trees in Denver, but what are they?
