 ** Weather is the most dramatic change people know on a daily basis but a 15°C day can feel very cold after a long 30°C period, or very hot after a 1°C period.
 ** Speed also has a strange effect on people. You don't realize the speed your at but it feels more tangible for someone standing still or going very slow compared to you. Also, speed seems to have an exhilarating effect on some people and some of them crave for it. It appears to also make people more prone to anger if something blocks their speed. It seems to act as a drug to which people are more or less sensitive, like any other drug...
