Today’s PSA (pizza service announcement) …
Yukon Pizza remains open for both lunch and dinner — and has resumed selling slices until 4 p.m., subject to availability 🍕 Owner Cameron White tells us the pause during the heatwave was only temporary to gauge improvements to the HVAC system. Today’s special is the Jalapeño Popper, topped with garlic ranch, cream cheese, mozzarella, thin-sliced jalapeños, red onion, sausage, and bacon 😋

🚨 Boat Trip Turns Deadly
It’s going to be a busy week at Lake Mead. Please be careful and use life jackets. The bodies of two boaters who disappeared while swimming at the lake a week ago were recovered Friday, underscoring how dangerous the lake can be — even when it appears calm. [KVVU]
