For better or worse, Colorado is a place that’s never short on strange headlines. In fact, some of the top headlines from the month of March include a cold case solved because of a can of Coke, a beef with the Nebraska governor, and a man peeing on a plane. We love you Colorado, but you weird us out!
We had high hopes for the new year, but apparently 2021 isn’t getting any less weird than the prior one. Guess we need to buckle up for this funky ass ride. Sorry folks; there is no ejection seat on this one. We’re all stuck together.
Reality is that we’re not even three months into 2021 and already it already feels...

If you’re looking for a way to pass the time, might we suggest that you hop in the car and high tail it to Tucson, AZ? In this mid-size Arizona metropolis, you’ll find...
Are humans alone in this vast universe? It’s a question as old as time — one that’s not easily answered.

The night Brenda Harris discovered Bigfoot on her porch started off quite ordinary. It was a hot summer night in Upper Fruitland, on the west side of Farmington, where she lived with her husband and two children. Her husband had just left for his graveyard shift and her brother and children’s cousins were staying the...
In what hopefully proves to be the final twist in the tale of the Forrest Fenn treasure, after months of anonymity, a Michigan man is claiming that he was the finder of the hidden chest.

While the mysterious monolith dropped in the middle of the Utah desert is now gone, it lives on in the imaginations of bored people everywhere.
Confused? So is everybody else.
