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.

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.

“How are you doing?” is the common question. “I’m living the dream,” I say. I always wanted a hardwood floor company. So I’m living the dream—technically, right?. I sanded my first floor with Jody Breeze in 2003 with a split drum Clarke 504. I had no clue what I was doing. George, the owner of Advanced Hardwood Flooring in Ocala, Fla., walked behind me, his hand on mine and telling me to make sure I didn’t leave the feathering handle down while stopping. One pass down and back ... then he walked away and said, “Show me you can do it. I’ll see you later.”
