According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Tucsonans awoke on the first day of summer to find the usual morning views of the Rincon and Santa Catalina mountains were blocked by thick clouds of dust and haze. A 100-mile-long dust storm blew across New Mexico from the east and into Tucson overnight, said Glenn Lader, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tucson.

Raleigh, NC

The first day of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft at The Sphere in Las Vegas did not disappoint. It had it all for round one, from shocker picks in the top five, like Beckett Sennecke to the Anaheim Ducks, to draft announcements from Michael Buffer and Celine Dion. Regarding the Carolina Hurricanes, it was mostly a quiet night for general manager Eric Tulsky’s first draft at the helm. After weeks of mock drafts and draft projections of who they could take at the 27th overall pick, the Hurricanes ultimately traded it. When the NHL got to their selection at the end of the first round, Carolina sent the 27th pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for the 34th and 50th overall picks; both selections are in the second round. The Hurricanes potentially have 10 selections in rounds two through seven on Saturday, June 29. Here is where they stand going into day two:
