Whenever warmer weather rolls around, pet parents have to deal with the bogeyman of the outdoors: foxtails.These anxiety-inducing plants are the portion of a weedy grass that contains the grass seed. These weeds grow mostly in the west, southwest and central areas of the country in all kinds of environments, including in our yards and cracks in the sidewalk.“Because they are pointed on the end, they can pierce skin with the pointed end and the barbs on the outside of the seed pod make them very sticky. They will not fall out and will advance forward through the skin and travel through tissues, bringing bacteria with them and causing pain and infection,” says Dr. Ilana Halperin, chief of service for Community Medicine at UC Davis Veterinary Medicine in California. “They can also enter any body opening — eyes, nose, ears, prepuce, vagina and mouth. They are painful and will cause tissue damage and infection. They can travel deep into tissues, even entering the lungs and other internal...What is the best comedy sketch of all time?

But there is a smart married comedy couple, Elle Key and Keegan-Michael Key, actor (him), producer (her), now co-authors of a slender, conversational book, “The History of Sketch Comedy.” And by the end of that history, they try to answer this question, and thus, must go through Chicago.Key and Key’s pick? Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’s “The Audition,” from HBO’s influential ‘90s series “Mr. Show.” The setup: Cross auditions for Odenkirk (Second City vet, Naperville native) and Dino Stamatopoulos (Columbia College alum, Norridge native) and asks to perform a monologue ironically titled...Latest news
