While I would love to get coffee, I live in New Orleans now. You mention weather right now being gross up there, which I remember clearly. Today it will be 72 and sunny here. I wonder if the weather causes social issues, unknowingly?

I don't think there's any question it does. When you travel enough in the tropics it becomes glaringly obvious. Anyone who thinks weather doesn't affect how people act should try flying from whatever northern latitude place they live in the dead of winter to a tropical place and observe the locals, I guarantee you'll see a lot more smiling and happy looking people than where you just came from

It certainly does. The sun on your skin makes vitamin d which has all kinds of happy effects on us.
