From Denver 7.
How are you faring? We just have fans it was bringing in a strong smell over the weekend. Safety of the firefighters is the main concern and hope all those with medical issues are finding ways to stay safe.
(Not a CO specific fire in this shot, but smoke doesn’t seem to care about state lines)
We recently found out my dog has an aggressive cancer and we’ve decided to let him pass tomorrow. His favorite thing in the whole world has always been snow. Does anyone know how I can find anything adjacent for him to have one less roll around in?
Is anyone else having issue with their skin? I imagine my itchy bothered face could be related to just the dryness but I wonder if anyone experienced changes like this when the air quality gets worse? Curious if you have any remedies!
Cheesman Park is my favorite park in Denver, and I’ve always loved its spooky history. I made this game as a little homage to the park.
Looks like a nice day out- wasn’t expecting to randomly lose power. Reported it on xcel website and apparent it’s impacting almost 4000 households. ETA of repairs is 2pm. I always check here for news so just passing it along.
Hey folks, would love some help here!
I saw another post that said that posting the bill helps others who understand better maybe help me figure out what's going on, but why does it show that I used twice as much electricity this recent month. I've attached the last 5 months here. It just doesn't make sense. I keep my apartment at 72 all day and night. I am hardly ever home, I work most of the day, and I've been working more this month than all year, as does my roommate. We're very conscientious about our electricity usage. But comparing the last 2 months bills to this one, it shows two different lines of usage with two different rates? I'm wondering if maybe I somehow got charged for a neighbor's bill? I'm not trying to freak out, just trying to get ahead of a pattern if it starts happening more.
Any advice or thoughts if anything seems to stick out as weird on these bills?
Update: After reading a lot of good feedback, my answer seems to be just simply turning my AC off when I'm not home. That's pretty common sense, but not something I considered. My brain just immediately went to skepticism because I'm usually good at keeping my electricity tight. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Friends dog got out of her yard. Posting here for more visibility. Please reach out if you hear anything!
Hey all, any recommendations for pools in the city or area that offer day passes?
Similar scams have been reported in this Reddit previously, but figured I'd flag because I still spent way too much time humoring the jerks this morning.
I woke to a voicemail from someone claiming to be from Denver County Sheriff's Office about an urgent legal matter. Last month I called the STAR hotline to report an emotionally disturbed person screaming and punching the air outside my place and I figured it was related to that. I called the number back in good faith.
Immediately the "Sheriff" told me that I missed a federal court date and was being cited for failure to appear and contempt of court. He said they had my signature confirmation on a grand jury summons sent to my (old) address. I was so focused on the idea of my signature being forged that I wasn't thinking as critically about how preposterous being charged with contempt of court would be.
He had me write down citation # and bond amounts for both charges and then repeat them back to him. He said that they would arrange for me to Zoom with Judge Michael Angel this afternoon to presumably deal with me disputing signing a summons.
The "Sheriff" then put on someone claiming to be a Federal agent because the trial I missed was for a federal crime. Yes, keep rolling your eyes. That agent said I had two options to deal with the citations, either civilly or criminally with agents arresting me. When he mentioned me needing to use a dropbox to submit my payment, I told him he was giving me "big scam energy." He got irritated by that comment, threatened me with six months in federal prison in DC, and then hung up on me.
Lots of red flags in the encounter that I ignored while I tried to make sense of the scenario. Both men on the call spoke quickly to create a sense of urgency, rattled off vague legal terminology, and wanted to project ultimate authority. In hindsight they were probably the same guy.
TLDR: you're not going to get citations for a missed hearing over the phone, Denver Sheriff's Department (vs Office) shouldn't be calling you for a federal issue, you definitely don't need to pay a bond to some theoretical dropbox.
EDIT: FOUND
Lost in the Washington Park/ Myrtle Hill area. Last night around 10pm. Her name is Zoey, she has a pink on her jacket and pink on her sweater. Please DM if she you see her. She is chipped. The owner is from Arizona, and will be staying until the dog is found
^(In addition to the neighbor who's tree caught on fire. Please at least pick up your trash and not leaving it in the park.)
Found this dog tonight at wash park. She walked up to us at the tennis and basketball courts. If you know who's dog this is please reach out. I will take her to get her microchip ready in the morning.

Luckily no one was hurt and the house wasn't damaged too much. Neighbors were able to put out the fire mostly with hoses before the fire department got there.
Please be safe everyone! Our state is on fire! And not in the good way.
Some photos I took during and the aftermath.
Edit: Yes, it was fireworks. Tiktok shows the firework hitting the tree.
I’m on a mission to track down a few of my late grandfathers sidewalk stamps before they are destroyed. I’ve been working to get every year (1950-1986)and I’m only missing a few years 1951, 1970, 1973, 1981, 1985, and 1986.
So far I’ve found dates all over town ranging from 5 points, wash park, cap hill, sunnyside, highlands, Edgewater etc. If you happen to be looking down and spot any of these dates could you post the date and cross streets? I’ve walked hundreds of miles at this point and am down to my last handful and thought this group might enjoy the hunt too!
Edit: typo on the years.
Edit x2: for those that expressed interested in him a little snippet from an article about 20 years ago! HERE
