Something is in the air.... Discussion

Lately I've really noticed a weird vibe to Nashville. From the tourists to the locals, even the servers here. Everyone just seems so much more rude/angry/short than even 4 months ago...

I was at a concert last night, won't name the band or venue, but it just seemed like the crowd was super angry. Everyone was standing still, no one said a word to each other, even if they showed up with people. Even the band themselves seemed like they were just trying to get thru the set.

This is one of a long string of instances like this I've experienced as of late...what is going on?

Really just makes me want to stay home...but as an extrovert that's extremely diffucult for me...

Most of my coworkers are either in India or the Philippines and most of their social/active time seems to occur after 8pm.  Even coworkers with young kids will be eating dinner at 8 or 9 - the world is just more pleasant at that time during a hot season!

I heard a story about an area doing beach nights, with lifeguards and large floodloghts and various cool things. Inspired by overseas. Fuck I need to find that link now.

A lot of the middle east can easily hit 110-120 during the day, for months on end

That is an awesome idea!  It's like the idea of "work smarter, not harder" - if it's going to be blazing hot let's live life around the most comfy parts!

It makes perfect sense (and could be done anywhere with a pool), keep lighting safe around that area, then you have a wonderland all around it
