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.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. 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.”

American Songwriter

Over the course of their 30-year recording career, R.E.M. threw its audience plenty of curveballs. As soon as they got pigeonholed as a jangle rock band, they added harder edges to their sound on albums like Document and Green. They would go on to dabble in grunge, electronic music, and psychedelia. By the time R.E.M. released their last single with newly recorded material, fans shouldn’t have been surprised to hear them take a turn towards easy listening, but many likely didn’t see this final change in direction coming.
