chattanooga felt like a wasteland on the way into work this morning, and i almost felt convicted for not celebrating memorial day. at my office, we don't really observe official holidays, so much as personal holidays. downtown, where i live, however is made up largely of big businesses like Unum Provident, TVA, and Cygna who do take the day off. so the whole place felt like some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland. i think the only movement i saw was a few bums rustling about down by warehouse row. reminds me of the opening scenes from "Strange Brew"... "Fleshy headed mutant! Are you friendly?... " also reminds me of walking to church on sunday mornings in Boston last summer. that city hums with activity every hour of the week except sundays from about 8am to noon. for those few hours you'd think everyone had been drugged the night before... which they probably had.
