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.

I say it alll the time – I’m not sure how I survived homelessness. Colorado Coalition for the Homeless played a big part. More on that later. Now a chilling new study shows homeless people face 3.5 times the likelihood of dying than housed people. In a shocking twist from conventional wisdom, the study showed white homeless people had a 40% higher likelihood of dying than Black homeless people. This is significant because numerous studies have shown Black people are more likely to become homeless than white people, and also are at a disadvantage among housed populations.

Kelsie Maureen Clutter didn’t have to die. “​​Just one phone call could have saved her life,” said her friend, Danika Stone. Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.

So you want to be rich. But how will you know when you've achieved it? It all depends on your point of reference. If you have enough food and clean water, you're already wealthier than millions of people worldwide. Own a house and a car? You've surpassed many billions more. Wealth is also relative to your location. A salary of $100k might place you among the elite in an economically depressed area but might equate to poverty in more affluent regions. Therefore, being rich might not necessarily mean having more money but rather living in a place where your money stretches further.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
