AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Texas Department of Safety are teaming up to remind hunters and gun owners to securely lock their weapons to keep them from getting into the wrong hands."A substantial amount of firearms are taken out of vehicles and taken from homes. And where do they end up usually? On our streets,” said Sgt. Deon Cockrell with DPS.According to a report released earlier this year from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 1,074,022 firearms were reported stolen from 2017-2021.The Austin Police Department reported 64% of missing or stolen firearms in 2022 stemmed from car burglaries.The city of Houston saw a record breaking number last year, with more than 4,140 firearms stolen from cars.Those numbers could be higher, as some gun thefts go unreported to police."I think a lot of people don't want to be honest about where they keep their guns and how they keep their guns. So I think that's a statistic that's hard to really get a ...

Letters: Don’t meddle with the zoning laws that protect Coloradans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:41:05 GMT

Invested: Zoning allowances alter our home life too muchFor most Americans, their home is, by far, their largest investment. There is usually a great deal of care when choosing where one will live. Now, at a stroke, the governor and legislature could put this at risk.How would you like an investor to erect a four- or six-plex next to your home? In 2021 nearly one-quarter of Denver homes were purchased as investments, so this is a very real possibility. Bear in mind that the people who build four- and six-plexes are never going to live there. If you think that parking is an issue now, what will happen when the four-plex goes up next door? The developer will make a quick buck, and you will be left to deal with the noise and parking issues while you watch the value of your property decline.The reason that zoning was invented is because people were tired of having their lives uprooted by someone who could do whatever they wanted with their property because “they owned it.” T...

View the original article about One Of Hemp’s Most Secretive Cannabinoids- CBL at Real Tested CBD.CBL doesn’t get as much love as CBD or delta-8 THC. Heck, even compared with other secondary hemp cannabinoids like CBG, it’s far more difficult to find any data on CBL. At this point, the only people who may know about CBL are already deeply immersed in the hemp or legal cannabis industry.While CBL may not be a significant force in today’s hemp market, it often appears in full-spectrum CBD oils.

See the spiral in the night sky that ‘created an internet storm’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:41:05 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Viewers of the northern lights got a surprise mixed in with the green bands of light dancing in the Alaska skies: A blue spiral appeared amid the aurora borealis for a few minutes.The cause of Saturday morning’s display was excess fuel that had been released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California about three hours before the spiral appeared.Sometimes rockets have fuel that needs to be jettisoned, said space physicist Don Hampton, a research associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.“When they do that at high altitudes, that fuel turns into ice,” he said. “And if it happens to be in the sunlight, when you’re in the darkness on the ground, you can see it as a sort of big cloud, and sometimes it’s swirly.”While it’s not a common sight, Hampton said he’s seen such occurrences about three times.The appearance of the swirl was caught in time-lapse on the Geophysical Institute’s all-sky camera and shared...
