stormdogI just listened to the the last two songs on Jill Sobule's self-titled album.
The first one is a heartbreaking true story of two lovers from opposite sides of a civil war who were killed as they tried to leave their city. It makes me cry a little bit every time.
The second is a pained evisceration of a former partner and the hell zie put her through. It's about leaving a life made unlivable by your partner behind and beginning to live with and for yourself....yet still having a twinge of sadness for that person who's no longer in your life.
They are both fantastic songs. But it must be the most severe case of thematic musical whiplash between consecutive songs on an album that I've ever heard.

On the topic of artists who use music to work through their feelings about the end of a relationship, next on my list is Shawn Colvin's "A Few Small Repairs," which, sadly, I only have as MP3s.

The maps are done! I ended up using a little bit of Photoshoppery to add transparency to a portion outside the frame of the map, around some callout text bubbles that didn't fit inside it. I hope the professor doesn't mind. I'll ask him if he wants this done 100% in ArcGIS and change if necessary.
Now I have to write up the webpages and add my pictures of the things on the to-see list!
