Re: Local weather
I rarely ever snows here, but when there's even the chance for it, they shut everything down. It's old-country-graveyard-quiet outside. It would almost be eerie if it weren't so god damned soothing. I absolutely hate, hate, the usual, endless drone of vehicular noise on the streets here. It's one of those subtle things that, once I noticed it, began to drive me gradually more insane.
(And, of course, my camera battery just died... And the rate the snow falling is already decreasing. Not even a full 1/4 inch of it on the ground, probably... Who wants to see pictures of that anyway? But like the quaint, easily-amused people we are here in the South, we always make it a point to get our picture taken next to the slurry.)
And for once, if only for a little while, I can't hear a single fucking car outside. I haven't heard that distant, protracted sshhhhwwwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhuuuuuuhhhhhhwwwweeehhhhhhhuuuuuurrrrrrrr of one, let alone many, cars all morning. Not once! I have my window wide open (it's stuffy in here anyway), and it's like I died and went to Heaven (me?). Serenity! I've so seldom felt this firsthand, the mild euphoria of absolute serenity. I could almost weep for joy.
The feeling is not unlike that feeling I get when I abstain from coffee (and caffeine in general) for a very long time and get noticeably high off of it once I finally have it or some really strong tea again. The only difference is the joy isn't remotely shaded with jitters and anxiety and the general "dirty", sweaty feeling of synthetically altered brain chemistry.
I really, really want to move somewhere far away from vehicular traffic some day.
