I think it is absurdly cool that I can still hear him fifty years after he died. Both his political speech, including his fantastic testimony to the House Committee, and his beautiful singing, which is some of my favourite listening material.

The generic you is not inherently bad, but becomes frustrating in mass media contexts. "This is what YOU are missing." The authors of such phrases in fact do not know who I am. I refuse to structure my life around the generic you.

This city is absurdly, ridiculously, overwhelmingly wet. It is also politically marginalized and economically deprived, which I think is unacceptable: they should be both wet and prosperous. I wish there was more art I could appreciate to learn more about what it is like here. I am grateful for the Festival of Saint Francis of Assisi, which *is* one prominent piece of art which expresses local self-esteem. I think the poor man of Assisi loves the people of Quibdó. He did like rain.
