Austin Dillon reached victory lane Sunday at Richmond Raceway, something he hadn’t achieved since the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, but Dillon’s win came at a price for two of his fellow competitors. For Joey Logano, who was leading heading into the final Turn of the race, it ended with a 19th-place finish. And for Denny Hamlin, who looked to be skirting his way past Dillon after his aggressive move, the price was a blown-out shoulder after Dillon hooked him in the right rear as the two were charging toward the finish line in the Cook Out 400.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

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.
