I’ve been thinking a lot about windows recently. My wife and I are fortunate enough to live in an apartment in downtown Little Rock. Our walls are mostly glass, which invites the old saying about glass houses, but any panes are well worth it, and on the whole, we wouldn’t trade it. In addition to being ideal for golden-hour light and thunderstorms and the daily spectacle of sunsets, the view makes for good people watching.

A FEW YEARS ago, we wrote about the average Arkansan. Or, more specifically, the very most statistically average Arkansan. Using public records from the Social Security Administration and the United States Census Bureau, we learned that this hypothetical figure was female, 36.4 years old. She was white, had a household income of $40,531 and a 21.3-minute commute. Oh, and her name was Jennifer.
