This made a big improvement for my morning, thanks Nightlion.

... he's "exotic," ...

The only nonUS high leader in an US church...
More than 50% of the members are nonUS...
20, 30 (40...) % of the members speak other language than English (Spanish and Portuguese)



See the German speaking members - from cumorah.com:

Germany:
LDS Members: 37159 - 0.045% of the population, 0.26% of the church membership (Approx. Active Members: 11147)

Austria:
LDS Members: 4176 - 0.051% of the population, 0.029% of the church (Approx. Active Members: 1252)

I want to have coffee with Nightlion and Ludwigm... and many others.

He was a genius.

and Mostar

When I first traveled to Yugoslavia (today there are five successors) I visited Mostar only to see the original scene.

From Csontváry page:

On a hot sunny afternoon, 13 October 1880, — when he was 27 years old — he experienced a mystic vision. He heard a voice saying "you will be the greatest sunway painter, greater than Raphael!"
...
Most of the critics in Western Europe recognized his abilities, art and congeniality, but in the Kingdom of Hungary during his life he was considered to be an eccentric crank for several reasons, e. g. for his vegetarianism, anti-alcoholism, anti-nicotinism, pacifism, his latent, but more and more apparent schizophrenia and his cloudy, prophetic writings and pamphlets about his life (Curriculum), genius (The Authority, The Genius) and religious philosophy (The Positivum).

(I'd rather have coffee or other beverage of choice with Nightlion, though.)

ahhh!
As would I with you.

You prefer the quixotic to the exotic.

Turns out there is a quaint coffee shop just down the hall from The Apocalrock Visitor Center...................?
Every time I pass by now
I will sigh
