Good Morning, Montrose. Justin here. It was a great day to take my old lab Jett to the dog park during my lunch break. It really looks and feels like spring on days like today.

I just have a few quick briefs for you in today's newsletter.

Like snacking? Most of us like potato chips and soda from time to time. But if you wanted to become a pro in unhealthy snack foods, you might head down to Buddy's Smoke and Vape Shop. A friend of mine saw this photo on social media, so I called over to the store. They apparently have sodas, candies and chips from all over the world, including Japan, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Trinidad, Thailand and the Caribbean.

Some of the more interesting flavors of snacks: A banana soda, steak Cheetos and spicy lobster Lay's potato chips. Nate Gueck, who runs the store, said the snacks range in price from $5-30, depending on rarity and cost to import (you'd have to be a big fan of Cheetos).



Famous birthdays today include comedian Jerry Seinfeld (67), three-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis (64), Pulp Fiction star Uma Thurman (51), and tennis legend Andre Agassi (51).



The NFL Draft begins today at 6 p.m., and as a Cowboys fan, I hope my team goes defense. But I wouldn't be disappointed if University of Florida tight end phenom Kyle Pitts fell to Dallas at the 10th overall pick. The Broncos pick right before the Cowboys at 9 overall. Here's a Denver Broncos draft guide.

Some are speculating the Broncos could trade QB Drew Lock and draft a quarterback, even after they acquired former Vikings and Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater. Who would you like to see the Broncos draft? Email me and let me know.

Bird-watching: Lastly, reader Joyce Corley sent us this pretty picture of a dark-eyed Junko. Spring really is here. If you have community photos you'd like to see published, remember to send them to editor@montrosepress.com with the subject line: Community Photos.



President Joe Biden gave an address Wednesday to a joint session of Congress and addressed immigration. He called on Congress to pass legislation this year to protect dreamers. But today, Arizona Senate Democrat Mark Kelly criticized Biden's 67-minute speech, saying Biden failed to provide a plan for the immediate border crisis as his administration has seen a record surge of illegal crossings at the border.
