Nothing sets my dog off quite like seeing a squirrel. Honestly, it's cute to see her ears perk up and her pupils dilate as she rears up on her back legs. I always have her on a leash when we walk outside, so I'm not sure if she would "play" with a squirrel or actually, shall we say, hunt it down. Either way, it's not a good idea to let your dogs or cats come into contact with a squirrel if you can avoid it, because a squirrel can hurt or even kill your beloved pet. If you're thinking rabies, you can set that worry mostly aside, especially if your animal is vaccinated against it. If you are...…Nothing sets my dog off quite like seeing a squirrel.

Metallica is a generous band. Metallica's charitable initiative All Within My Hands, raises funds that are dispersed to several charity partners, including local food banks, critical local services, and the Metallica Scholars, "a major workforce education initiative that provides direct support to community colleges to enhance their career and technical education programs." And now, they've gifted a massive $15000 grant to a Texas high school. That isn't to say that the Boerne, Texas high school didn't earn it. They tied with a school in Malverne, New York for best performance by a...…Metallica is a generous band.

Gorgeous? Absolutely. Terrifying? Probably a little bit. Jacob's Well, located about 10 miles outside Wimberley, TX, is a karstic spring that reaches an incredible depth of 20th feet vertically, then continues downward at an angle to 120 feet deep. In the past, Jacob's Well was available (with a reservation) for people to swim and dive in. The clean, clear water, and the illusion that the the well is bottomless made it a magical and unforgettable experience. Despite its extreme beauty, Jacob's Well has proven deadly as well. Between 1964 and 1984, nine people died while scuba diving...…Gorgeous? Absolutely. Terrifying? Probably a little bit.

In 2018, the federal Farm Bill made the production of hemp products legal by removing them from the Controlled Substances Act. And with that came products like Delta-8 and Delta-9. Unlike hemp-derived CBD, which has been touted for its health benefits like controlling anxiety and helping alleviate chronic pain and insomnia, Delta-8/9 does get the user high. Sometimes extremely high, if the user ingests more than they should. There have been incidents of people seeking medical intervention because they got dizzy, began to hallucinate, etc. Now, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is making it a...…In 2018, the federal Farm Bill made the production of hemp products legal by removing them from the Controlled Substances Act.

Texas Department of Corrections mugshots Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, 313 men and women on death row have been granted reprieve. This does not mean they are not paying for their crimes- most sentences were commuted to life without parole. Of everyone spared the death penalty, less than 1% are Texas death row inmates.* Not only is Texas the least forgiving of those on death row, but we have led the nation in executions since 1976 by a comfortable margin.In fact, only three men have been granted clemency in Texas. We will examine their lives, crimes, and why they...…Texas Department of Corrections mugshots Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, 313 men and women on death row have been granted reprieve.

Pasadena mugshot with edit"I just blew his life away." -Elmer Wayne HenleyIf Elmer Wayne Henley had committed his crimes during this decade, the outcome of his trial may have been very different. Henley is currently serving six consecutive life sentences for the murders, mutilations, and torturous sexual assault of several victims. These crimes are sickening, but you might ask yourself, was Henley really to blame?You often hear the term "grooming" now, and whether it's frequently being used in a disingenuous way is up for debate.
