Like Trees Along a River

Morning in Marseille

There’s a certain time of day, time of year, and type of weather that reminds me of that morning. January 1, 2015. Do you have moments like that, where the right alignment of factors and feelings takes you back to a very specific place?

We have more data points than ever. More information than ever is tracked, monitored, and available about politics. Shouldn’t we be able to make better predictions?
