Well, it was ceratinly one way to wake people up. On Friday morning at around 10:23 AM, an approximately 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck much of the east of the United States. It's been reported that the earthquake primarily occurred in the New York City/New Jersey areas. However, the effects were felt as far south as Maryland and as far north as Maine.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Opinion: The smell of death in Denver

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.

An immigrant from south of the border told the Denver City Council Monday that newcomers staying in city shelters are treated like “animals.”. Willy Bastidas addressed the council during the public comment period. Members of the dais do not respond to comments in order to give more people time to speak during the 30-minute session.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.
