Mutual Admiration Society of southern Utah   Have you ever met someone and became instant friends, right on the spot without any prior introductions or initial contact? You both felt a strong connection and every time you see each other or speak on the phone, you reconnect easily?   I have. My Mutual Admiration Society friend works for another brokerage in the St. George area and lives in the same community a client is contemplating on building a home. In order to gain some useful information, we met at her sales office.

When was the last time you told someone that you appreciated them or had a high regard for their business ethics or enjoyed working with them? The results may indu...

Look up in the sky...It's A Bird...It's A Plane...It's an Altocumulus Standing Lenticular Cloud!   Many people were left wondering about the almost mystical formation that hovered in the southern Utah skies yesterday, including myself. Being a cloud watcher and rainbow chaser, I was so curious in fact that I just had to look it up.   This unusual type of cloud, according to the National Weather Service is known as an altocumulus standing lenticular cloud, usually forming in the winter and spring months. It is caused when fast moving air is forced up and over a topographic barrier that is oriented more or less perpendicular to the direction from which the upper-level wind is blowing.      This deflection creates a gravity wave downwind of the topographic barrier not unlike a wave you mig...
