Today is a day of coffee and hickory smoke and radiant drowsy sunlight. Today is also the first day of fall semester at the university, and there has been a massive influx of new blood into this town to prove it. Tons and tons of hormonal young adults, arriving in SUV's or dropped off by Mom & Dad, all looking to rut, get wasted, not be hassled, and end up with the insouciant American Dream. Bless their hearts - this town's entire economy is supported by their collective pseudodrama. If you were to just look straight up, though, past the texting hordes, you'd never know about any of it. Nothing up there but the breath.
