The first to two big wide receiver dominoes has fallen for Notre Dame football, and unfortunately this one didn’t land the Irish’s way.
Tanook Hines, a Texas native, had Notre Dame among his final schools, but on Monday afternoon he decided that the lure of Southern California was too much to say no too. The 6-foot, 1-inch and 185-pound receiver committed to USC, taking yet another prospect off the Irish’s recruiting board.
The nation’s No. 355 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings decision hurts Notre Dame in multiple way, mostly that he opted to go to a rival school that is on the schedule in the future.

Hopefully, Notre Dame’s luck changes soon as they await the decision of Nevada star receiver Derek Meadows.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.

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?
