Paddlers on the Colorado River’s Ruby-Horsethief Canyon outside Grand Junction, Colorado, got a hot surprise in early July when, while floating the river, they were passed by a train…on fire. No, it wasn’t a Grateful Dead/Casey Jones lyric-come-to-life. It was a Union Pacific train engine that caught fire as it passed the floaters while speeding along the tracks beside the river. No injuries were reported, and the train was able to continue down the line before engineers eventually extinguished it, but it raised a red flag with Colorado fire danger rated high....

Jumping off things (as silly as it sounds) provides a unique sense of thrill.

For most of us, abs work comes at the end of the gym session. But by this point, you’ve probably run out of steam. And are likely lying on the floor.
