How my town is showing support for health care workers, first responders and the community.

Every night at 8pm...everyone in the city goes outside and howls. At first I thought it was kinda weird until I heard it. Every neighborhood...Thousands of people in unison. It’s primal and it’s beautiful.

1. meh, reminds me of prayers

doing something....without actually doing anything

[MontanaMama]

2. I don't know about "meh".

People are separated and it’s painful. The howl let’s folks know they’re not alone. That’s something. But thanks anyway.

3. sorry, I'm just not a fan of unncessary noise

I guess it is the night shift worker in me.

4. Well it's 5 minutes.

Jeez. Enjoy your night.

[MontanaMama]

6. We don't. It's 8pm.

Go rain on someone else's parade. Goodnight yourself.

[MontanaMama]

8. Good grief. Not a fan of unnecessary noise? Funny.

Yes indeed.

12. My town started doing the 8PM howl two weeks or so ago.

[MontanaMama]

16. Did you howl?

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Yes. I posted about how neat it was for the neighborhood and

got the same comment about 'noise' that you did.

[MontanaMama]

18. I didn't see your post.

I think it’s wonderful for the neighborhoods...had I seen your post, I would have said so.

19. It was in the DU lounge. Thanks. I think it's great.
