And this right here? What I loved most, she had so much soul.
Chi-city.
I guess this was my very first stop for my exquisite roadtrip. I spent a couple days here, and boy, was that a great visit.
The more I come there, the more I consider living there one day. We’ll see.
Someone else has fallen in love with Chicago! Happens every day in countless ways.

So the scandal—the real scandal—is that 501(c)(4) groups have been engaged in political activity in such a sustained and open way.

This article needs to be circulated. The President shouldn’t give in to the ridiculous spin being put on this issue by House Republicans. To qualify for this tax break, organizations are supposed to engage in promoting social well-being and not political activism. The IRS has the right (the duty) to investigate them.

Plaza Major, Bogota Colombia
En Chicago te pueden multar hasta $500 por echarle comida a las palomas; en Bogotá te venden maiz para que las puedas alimentar en la Plaza de Boívar. ¿Cuál de estas políticas será la correcta? No lo sé, supongo que depende de mi humor. De todos modos siempre me encantan las palomas en la Plaza de Bolívar.

Patricia Highsmith by Dmitri Kasterine
“Her hands are enormous: square, powerful, and as large as her head. They are gnarled and nicked from her woodworking and her gardening. ‘Worker’s hands,’ says one friend. ‘Butcher’s hands, stranger’s hands,’ ventures a neighbor. Her thumbs are extraordinary: huge curved digits, bent out naturally at what appear to be unnatural angles to the rest of her fingers.” —Joan Schenkar, from The Talented Miss Highsmith: The Secret Life and Serious Art of Patricia Highsmith.
Her novels scare me because they draw me steadily in to the narrative until I start to become one of her characters.
