Sneak Peek, Wed July 10, 2024
Added 2024-07-10 12:53:59 +0000 UTCI've got a bit of a backlog of city visit-type videos now, to the point where there's a lag of a couple weeks to go back over all the photos and video I took on a particular trip, go over all the voice memos I left for myself about what I was seeing, and assemble a narrative out of it. The plus side of this (I actually can't think of a minus) is I kind of get to relive a whole trip all over again, and it feels like the intervening couple of weeks even give me a little more perspective. So anyway, it's been almost a month since I was in Durham NC, but you get the video today.
Part of the reason for the lag time is I don't like to put out the same kind of video in back to back weeks -- I needed something in between Winston-Salem and Durham. Likewise, I'll have Phoenix coming up in a couple weeks, and there is SO MUCH to say about Phoenix that I'm afraid it's already going to be a fairly long video. So I'll need to do a separate video on Tempe a couple weeks after, which will include my thoughts on Culdesac (they gave be a backstage tour, and I'll try my best not to let the fact that they gave me a Culdesac hat and a Culdesac water bottle influence how I talk about the place).
I tend not to think much more than 2-3 weeks in advance on my videos. A lot of times what I work on in a given week just depends what mood I'm in and what's caught my interest. I've got something a bit...different coming next week, but I'll keep the topic under wraps for now.
Question for today -- I endured some pretty inhumane temperatures while I was in Arizona a couple weeks ago, and I have a lot of thoughts about how people live their day-to-day lives in conditions like that. (It's even more extreme than Henderson NV, where I lived for a year!) But a lot of parts of the country have been experiencing excessive heat this past week or so. How do you all adjust your daily routines? Do you change travel habits? The times of day you do things? Stop doing certain activities altogether? Start doing other ones? I need some anecdotes to feed my travel behavior/modeling curiosity.
Happy Wednesday.
Comments
I'm heavily biased, but I think two Heartland Flyers and improvements at Fort Worth Central Station would be similar. Norman is right there, a huge untapped student population that frequently go south. The heat adjusts the amount of time I am willing to spend in my car pretty significantly, particularly because of the increasingly inefficient state of my personal one. The worst trips are short ones where I will be in the car long enough to get hot but not long enough for it to cool down at all. These trips are simply made less often or are corralled until I can get them done all at once.
