Greetings from Madison
I guess I should mention at some point that I'm writing this week from America's most insanely livable city, Madison, Wisconsin. Above is the view from my table at the Fair Trade Coffee House on State Street, where I'm typing these very words. Here's a view down State Street toward the Capitol:

Madison Wisconsin = 25 squares miles surrounded by reality.
