RETURN TO HIGH SCHOOL READING ASSIGNMENTS
Like most of you, we had certain assigned books to read in high school. The only Hemingway novel that I recall reading was “The Old Man and The Sea”. When I found a copy of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” in my local bookstore, at a sale price, I had to pick it up since I didn’t recall ever reading that one. I hadn’t. My impressions are noted here.
I FOUND SOME MORE CAT STATUES!
Last month I reported on cat statues popping up around town. Since then, I’ve stumbled across 9 more, two of which I’ve shown below. You can see all of the cat statue photos in the blog post.
LEARNING ABOUT AI: HOW IT WORKS. WHAT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
