Delicious donuts that make a difference: The Other Side Donuts
Delicious Donuts That Make a Difference in SLC
Some topics make me really excited to talk about. This is one of those topics. Donuts? Yup. Supporting a great cause? Double Yup. The Other Side Donuts is a social enterprise benefitting The Other Side Village, a "master-planned community of healing and purposeful living for people coming out of chronic homelessness." The donut shop, which recently celebrated its one-year anniversary, is staffed by residents of the village, and all proceeds are passed back to the village for its continued operations.

Hopeful gravel miners in Salt Lake fear-monger that unless we allow them to destroy a portion of Parley's Canyon, Utah will run out of gravel. Meanwhile, an independent analysis shows that we have 13,000 YEARS of gravel supply without this proposed mine. www.saltlakecounty.gov/globalassets...

Wild. I asked a question about camera lenses and ChatGPT remembered from an inquiry months ago that I own a Sony A7cii. Wasn't in the same thread from months ago, either, so it's gained some contextual memory.

Asher Adams Hotel, Salt Lake City. This building had languished for far too long until they came along and turned it into a hotel. I respect that they kept the original building original (the actual hotel portion is built behind this. You can see it at the left and right of the old building).

I was chatting to a coworker friend of mine today who mentioned that he had been married for 40 years. I asked him what the secret was. His answer: “Get over yourself and realize that your spouse’s happiness is more important than yours.”
I liked that.
