I was thinking, about how we have some very emotional reactions from observers, that I didn't anticipate. Including Bart, it seemed that you had an emotional response that you shared with us in the first reporting. I really appreciate that, because it was spooky to me how closely it neared, several of the observers were like, "This reminds me of my childhood, and this childhood experience I had." And it's like, "How's that possibly happening in all across all these different, weird, barely connected settings?" The short version, is communities make you feel like you're in a community. That's the whole point in being in a place that is a community, that has a sense of identity, and belonging, and all that good stuff.
