Artificial Intelligence (AI) is big. It is transforming the economy globally, and many people fear that it will weigh on jobs. Yes, it will weigh on jobs, but it may create some jobs. Most are worried that jobs will be eliminated, and some will. The key is that it will change a lot of jobs. I have long been a believer in AI, but the common interface, ChatGPT, has really been bad from my perspective. I asked it about "attractive" cannabis stocks, and I did not like at all the

Last year, I could not walk on Juneteenth, as I was still recovering from my emergency room visit due to my bronchiectasis, but this year I was able to go on a fantastic walk. Juneteenth is a great celebration in my view. While I couldn't go for a walk last year, I did write about it, wishing readers a happy Juneteenth and thanking the person who brought the holiday to Texas in 1980. This walk was not a new walk for me. Rather, I started off heading for a place that I have vi

I don't recall talking to any friends about this, but It bothered me that I couldn't prove that God existed. I also couldn't prove that God did not exist. I remember discussing this with my moth

I was invited to attend a program that I attended today. I was headed to a place that I had never known about, Fabric Forge, on Hillcroft and High Park near Sharpstown. I took the 9 bus, catching it at Milam and Elgin at High Fashion Home, and the bus dropped me off literally right at Fabric Forge. I went from High Fashion to High Park. Fabric Forge, which used to HTX Sewn Goods, is part of Connect Community, and it helps train people to enter the textile manufacturing world.

While I never launched my new cannabis business, it looks like for now that I won't be able to do so.
