If you were able to put a vision on paper, how would you draw life in the year 2100?
Unplug
We live in a world that’s always “on,” but what happens when we finally hit pause? In this edition of The Way I See It, Lauren Bradford explores our constant connection to screens and the toll it takes on our health, relationships, and peace of mind.

Mama Lies
It’s Mother’s Day Eve…which might be good opportunity to remind Mom about how she demanded we tell the truth…and lied about what would happen if we didn’t! (“When you tell a lie, a little man appears in your eyes and I can see him…”) Now that many of us are adults...

The Mason Jar
Ordinary household items are often overlooked. Curiously, the mason jar has a fascinating past dating all the way back to Emperor Napoleon.

Newton unseals it all in this classic Betcha Didn’t Know!

From Forte, currently 3 to 1, all the way to Reincarnate at 50 to 1, the odds are as widely spaced–if names are any indication–as the gap in their owner’s imaginations. Some of the names are great, some are not so great, and a couple are downright horrible.

Even if it was delivered by Saturday morning cartoons.
Super Bloom
After several drought years, California has been deluged with rain adding up to one of the wettest winters on record. The rainfall has filled the empty reservoirs and swollen the creeks and rivers.
