The saga of the mysterious monoliths – the tall, metal structures popping up and then vanishing around the world – shows no signs of stopping.
On Dec. 25, a monolith appeared at Corona Heights Park in San Francisco, except this time it was made out of gingerbread. It even came complete with icing and gumdrops. We will leave it up until the cookie crumbles, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department General Manager Phil Ginsburg told KQED.
Another recent sighting: A 10-foot tall monolith appeared in a park in Ithaca, New York, according to the Ithaca Voice.
It wasn t clear to city officials where the monolith came from – which resulted in joy paired with some frustration.

Utah Reports “Artificially Low” New Cases Of COVID-19
Utah health officials reported 2,183 new cases of COVID-19 Friday, but they warn that number is artificially low due to system maintenance Thursday night. Any tests that were reported during that time, will be included in Saturday’s count. There are 568 people currently hospitalized from the coronavirus, down 3% compared to last week. Nine more Utahns have died from COVID-19 and seven of them were over the age of 65.
Two County water managers view proposed Cove Reservoir as beneficial to both Joan Meiners, St. George Spectrum & Daily News
A proposed reservoir project decades in the making moved another step towards reality Wednesday night as water managers fielded questions from the public about potential impacts to consumers and the environment in both Washington and Kane Counties.
The Cove Reservoir project aims to divert water from the East Fork of the Virgin River near Orderville, Utah, about 20 miles northeast and upstream of Zion National Park, into a reservoir with a capacity of just over 6,000 acre-feet. An acre-foot is the volume of water that would fill an area about the size of a football field to a depth of one foot.

Utah’s I-80 was one of the deadliest roads for animals in the state. The worst area nicknamed Slaughter Row spanned 13 miles of highway and claimed the lives of 122 deer, 13 moose, four elk, and three mountain lions over the course of just two years. Luckily, the state’s largest
wildlife overpass was constructed in this area in 2018 and has already shown signs of success. Wildlife experts had suggested that it would take years for animals to begin using the structure, but new footage released by the Utah Division of Wildlife proves that they are using the overpass even earlier than expected.
