No, A Love For Tupac Wasn't Why Jerry Foxhoven Was Ousted, Iowa Governor's Office Says

Gov. Jared Polis on Friday signed into law a measure that aims to provide relief to those living in the shadows of Colorado’s airports, which have been blamed for exposing people beneath flight paths to noise pollution and lead contamination. But as the governor was putting pen to paper, an airplane’s engine buzzed overhead — an irony that prompted laughter in the crowd attending the bill signing at Wildflower Park in Superior.

Can the Nuggets go from gags to riches? They were equipped to type an exclamation point to one of the oddest playoff series in franchise history and instead put a question mark at the end of the sentence.

Dear Amy: I am a single woman in my mid-50s. I never married or had children and like it this way. I enjoy people, but am a classic introvert who recuperates her energy by being alone. I enjoy going to museums and restaurants on my own. There is a restaurant/bar right down the street from me that I enjoy going to. Recently, I went to this restaurant by myself and sat at the bar to have a drink and maybe eat something. I wasn’t there for long when a man came up beside me, saddled up, and took up conversation with me.

Of course it came down to the puck on Matt Duchene’s stick. It figures because of his history in this building and this state. It figures, too, because he had his fingerprints all over Game 6. Double overtime. Running on fumes. A week that turned the Avalanche’s season upside down. It’s been a long time since Duchene played for Colorado at this point (although, fans still boo him at Ball Arena).
