I apologize in advance for this off-topic post, but for those of you out there that have lived, worked, or spent any time in the Silver Lake area of LA, this is relevant. And sad.

Dr. Marc Abrams, AKA Dr. Walker (among my circle), was found dead last night in his backyard hottub. He was a true local icon.
Will Campbell, from Blogging.LA, sums it up nicely.

I will miss him. He always said hi to me whenever I was waiting at the bus stop and he walked by me, only briefly looking up from the newspaper he was always reading.

Not off-topic at all. Will Campbell's summation, and the comments that follow, are a great example of the many practically unnoticed things that we humans like about living in communities, and why it's valuable to do so.
