This is a terrible thing that has happened and i'm really surprised just how sad i am about it
funny thing is i thought i was the only person in the world that absolutely loved his work and appreciated the man for who he was
turns out millions of people all over the world feel the same

I was just having dinner tonight with a friend who had recently moved to South Carolina and I mentioned this very episode. My friend was "mehhhh" on his decision to move to the coast from the mountains. I mentioned Iggy's comment on the "hot and humid-not mild" morning (don't mess around- go all in!) and watching the sun catch the water before high noon comment, and how my friend's Hilton Head property had so much of that- the humidity, the light on the water, the "hanging out waiting on a friend" aspect- all in a good way.
AB didn't create all that, nor did he expect credit, however, his shows brought out that relatability, which I think really did catch a much larger audience appreciation than anyone could have imagined.
In the end, my friend decided his only true gripe about Hilton Head was that there weren't enough bike trails for him on the Island.
"Geezus" I said "That's all you've got against the place?"
"yup" he admitted.
It was then he also mentioned that moving to a new place opened up the possibilities of discovering "microcosms." It had nothing to do with AB- yet that's what his shows so often covered.
