the spherical bulbs (street lights) make an awesome effect on the mood.

Wow, this is really great. I think I've watched too many horror films though, I'm expecting to see someone like Jack the Ripper stalk around the corner any minute

Ha! I see what you mean, you should see it when it's foggy

You're welcome.
Wow, how lovely that must seem on Halloween. Scare off the trick-or-treaters?

I think most streets just feel scarier during Halloween, maybe it's all in the mind but our street does with or without fog.

I can imagine....
Most do because traditionnally it was thought that on Halloween the veil between this world and the next is at it's thinnest. People get really freaked out about that...can't imagine why
Watching Most Haunted tonight...

Yeah, i learnt all about that when i was doing Irish at university and part of the course was based on Celtic culture and traditions. It helps being a Pagan during Halloween because you know about ancient rituals and how they relate to the modern day Halloween.

You're incredibly lucky to live somewhere where the architecture isn't all modern, tacky, American ugliness.
I bet you're all much saner.

Thanks very much!

Oh, I'm envious!
The oldest buildings around me are a gaggle of old beach houses that were moved aging only about fifty years.
Some of the most beautiful architecture came out of the Victorian era.
You're right, but I've always felt that a more stimulating environment is capable of doing wonders for one's sanity- as for troubles, that varies entirely according to each lifestyle.

I see what you mean about how living in a more stimulating environment can be good, i suppose i have never looked at it that way before. It is only when you live away from home for a while that you truly appreciate what you had all along and never noticed.

That is also true.
Each time I come home after visiting family in the panhandle of Texas, I am amazed at how beautiful a hurricane-ravaged, semi-tacky Mississippian town appears to be- although, it DOES tend to look much nicer when there is a dense fog, so I'm not sure what that says about it xD

Have you had any hurricane damage to your town recently? It makes me think how lucky we are in England to not experience that kind of extreme weather. The worst we have in my town is flooding now and then but is never kills or poses a threat to human life in any way.

Not since Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
We've been lucky, and hopefully we'll continue to have the luck we have now.
Flooding is pretty horrible, though, regardless of whether it's murderous or not, as it's incredibly hard to clean up after a flood.

My theory is that Mother Earth throws these things at us because she wants to get rid of us- it's as if she's a dog, and we're the fleas that refuse to leave her alone.

Where were you when Hurricane Katrina hit? Did you experience it first-hand?
Yes, flooding is bad but i feel sorry for those who loose their homes or have to live in caravans until the house can inhabited again. We had really bad summer floods last year in some counties and there are still people who can't live in their houses because their insurance hasn't come through or for some other bureaucratic reasons.
That's a very good way of describing the way that nature is throwing all these natural disasters at us. I don't believe in God and i think the global warming thing is exaggerated but something seems to be changing.

I was driving north from the coast when it hit, so I only experienced rain and tornadoes- I'm a lucky one, alot of my friends that stayed still become terrified when it storms mildly.
When I was in the British Isles last summer when all that flooding was happening in England and Wales- I felt so awful that I was on vacation, enjoying myself, whilst a few hundred miles south of me, peoples' homes were filling up with water. It sounds like their insurance is playing the games that ours and FEMA did. Why can't the people we pay to take care of us do their jobs?

England, Scotland, Ireland.
I wanted to spend some time in Wales, my Memaw and I were primarily going for ancestral interest. x3
I am lucky- incredibly, really.
I honestly do believe, even though it sounds rather cliche, that all of us that went through it so young will be stronger than we would have been otherwise if we ever face another disaster again.

Yes, it's annoying that people in power can't do more in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Where in Britain did you go on holiday?
I am sorry to hear it still affects some of your friends psychologically, i suppose it's a form of post-traumatic stress but you were very lucky that you weren't more directly affected.
