AI, AI, AI. There’s more news about artificial intelligence these days than just about anything else. It’s affecting everything in ways we can and cannot see and the future possibilities are mind boggling-especially like an old Boomer like me!

When I was a tween I was fascinated by dendrochronology. Basically, I loved to count the tree rings on a log to determine the age of the tree and what the tree survived during its lifetime. Unlike today’s helicopter parents, ours would push us out the door after breakfast and tell us to come home […]
Last summer the Salt Lake City Counsel enacted a legislative intent to explore available options for a street sign program that designates a recognized historic district in the city. For example, if you live east on Laird Avenue, the street sign would said LAIRD AVE and either ‘local historic district’ or ‘local historic district/Yalecrest Neighborhood’. […]
