Why does your surrounding environment dictate how you feel?
Is it variability of the weather? There’s an effective argument that says that a place where inhospitable weather is a likely occurrence creates a sense of urgency that encourages people to enjoy the season.
This explains why the summer in seasonal places like Toronto, Helsinki or Chicago are so fantastic and worth experiencing. They are temporary moments. You never know how long they will last. You do whatever you can to maximize the experience.
But then… what happened to Buffalo? All of the anticipation and excitement that is the summer seems to have been sucked away by a combination of rust belt sensibilities and the cultural vortex that is Niagara Falls.
The answer is simple.
There is a God, and God hates Western New York State.
The Holy One, Blessed be He, has started the flood here.
You think the Falls are “romantic” and “scenic”? Fools.
You can’t build an ark out of chicken wings, sinners.
