We're just days away from California's grand reopening. Almost everything goes back to normal on June 15th. That means you can rip off your masks just about everywhere you go if you're fully vaccinated. But it might be different when you're at work. Cal OSHA once again changed its mask rules and there's still plenty of confusion. Just because you'll be able to go places without a mask, will you? It might take some time for people to adjust.  A murder mystery has been solved 65 years later. It might be the oldest cold case ever to be figured out using DNA and geneaology. A new poll shows millions of Americans feel they don't have anyone they can really trust.  More and more people now are falling victim to lottery and sweepstakes scams. Is it that scammers are getting smarter or are people are just more willing to believe? Have you heard of shrinkflation? It's hitting grocery stores. And if you're one of those super picky Starbucks customers ... double pump kid temps extra whip...that kind of a thing....well, sorry. There's a big ingredient shortage.
