PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) -- A sizable social media response may allow local bookstore The Book Burrow to reach its goal of selling 1,000 books by July 12, which would let the business find a new home.Courtesy Kelsey BlackThe Book Burrow currently occupies a space in the Three Legged Goat, a wine and craft beer bar located at 200 E Pecan St. in Pflugerville. It moved into that space in Spring 2023, but the business has been in operation since 2021. During 2021-2023, the business sold books from pop-up locations.Kelsey Black, the store's owner, said that they still need to sell 100-200 more books to meet the goal.

Ann Rest, DFL-New Hope, and Rep. Aisha Gomez, DFL-Minneapolis, acknowledged the error in a statement Friday. The statement also said they had an agreement to fix it when the Legislature reconvenes in February 2024.If lawmakers fix the error next year it shouldn’t impact what taxpayers owe, the statement said.

The 2023 standard deduction for couples is $2...

Why two returning offensive linemen are quietly key to Broncos’ extreme makeover up front

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:09:59 GMT

Earlier this offseason, Sean Payton likened his offensive line room to an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.The Broncos spent big on the renovation.They gutted the interior and spent $52.5 million to bring in guard Ben Powers. They reimagined the exterior to the tune of five years and $87.5 million for right tackle Mike McGlinchey. They made smaller moves — some drywall here and some new appliances there — for veteran Kyle Fuller, seventh-round draft pick Alex Forsyth and others.Of 16 offensive linemen on the current 90-man roster, seven are new since March.For good reason, much of the offseason conversation regarding the offensive front has focused on free-agent additions Powers and McGlinchey ($80.5 million in guaranteed money), the return of Garett Bolles (entering third year of four-year, $68 million extension) from a lower leg fracture that cost him 11 games in 2022 and new offensive line coach Zach Strief.If this remodel is going to turn into a showpiece, though,...
