Danger Days: The True Lives Of the Fabulous Killjoys by My Chemical Romance had hit the nail right on the head. Being introduced to them in seventh grade brought me to a whole new world of music I didn’t even know existed.Whenever I put this album on and I hear the beginning of “Look Alive, Sunshine,” it instantaneously puts me into a place where my soul is happy. I became obsessed with this masterpiece to the point where I created my own killjoy character. The storyline is the main thing I hyper-fixated on. I fell in love with the message of always fighting for what you believe in and using your voice even when they try to shut your mouth— “Keep running!” is a line that...Tico Coffee Roasters CEO growing an environmental legacy

By MICHELLE CHAPMAN (AP Business Writer)Chevron is buying Hess Corp. for $53 billion and it’s not even the biggest acquisition in the energy sector this month as major producers seize the initiative while oil prices surge.Crude prices rose sharply in early 2022 with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and are hovering around $90 per barrel after ticking another 9% higher this year, meaning big drillers are flush with cash and looking for places to invest piles of cash.The Chevron-Hess deal comes less than two weeks after Exxon Mobil said that it would acquire Pioneer Natural Resources for about $60 billion.Upward pressure on oil prices are being applied from a number of fronts including the war in Ukraine. Oil markets are being stretched by cutbacks in oil production from Saudi Arabia and Russia, and now, a war between Israel and Hamas runs the risk of igniting a broader conflict in the Middle East. While attacks on Israel do not disrupt global oil supply, according to an analysis by the U...TasteFood: It’s a wrap! Ground turkey and a zippy sauce make dinner a breeze

DEAR JOAN: We have lived in a quiet residential neighborhood very near downtown for 42 years.Yesterday, a murder of crows was making a terrible racket in our back garden. When we investigated there was a huge great horned owl perched in our next door neighbor’s tree. It was being attacked by the crows. It flew to an adjacent oak and managed to move under the canopy so the crows couldn’t continue to bombard him. It stayed in that oak most of the day.We chased the crows away by tossing a fake dead crow on the roof. It really caused a stir and they all flew away immediately.We’ve never seen such an amazing animal here before. Is this a new phenomenon? Where could it possibly be living? We hope he comes back.By the way, no more crows around here today.— Sharon McCray, CampbellDEAR SHARON: My first experience with a great horned owl was when one chased a rabbit down into a basement window well at my sister’s house in Denver, and then couldn’t get out. They are amazing, fierce and b...Man who ran meth trafficking biz out of elder care home faces life in prison after conviction

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Economy Minister Sergio Massa produced a big surprise by finishing first in the opening round of Argentina’s presidential election, reflecting voters’ wariness about handing the presidency to his chief rival, a right-wing populist who upended national politics and pledged to drastically diminish the state.Massa’s victory over Javier Milei, a chainsaw-wielding economist and freshman lawmaker, came despite the fact that on his watch inflation has surged into triple digits, eating away at the purchasing power of salaries and boosting poverty. Still, he wasn’t punished in Sunday’s voting. With nearly all ballots counted early Monday, Massa had 36.7% of the vote and Milei had 30%, meaning the two will go to a Nov. 19 runoff. Most pre-election polls, which have been notoriously unreliable, had given Milei a slight lead over Massa. Former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, of the main center-right opposition coalition, got 23.8% to finish third in the...Latest news
