Just a subtraction problem

At 2:30 in the morning, there is no sound. I mean when I got out of my car after getting home from work and watching Grindhouse (GO SEE IT NOW), I was struck by how eerily quiet it is at 2:30. I stood next to my car and I could hear every ping the thing made as it cooled down. I felt like it was so quiet that I could hear the mist... misting, I suppose. What does mist do? It doesn't rain, because then it would be rain. It is precipitation, but how does it do it's misting thing. I mean, if I could hear it falling, then wouldn't it be rain? Or at least drizzle?

Anyways... It was as if the little part of the world that I live in was muffled. No bugs, no cars, no people. No noise or sound that you hear on a regular basis. But I could hear the wind. It wasn't windy per se, but in the absence of other sounds you could hear the wind. I think it might have been one of the most peaceful moments of my entire life, standing in front of my house, next to my car. That peacefulness is always there, I think, but it is buried beneath the rest of the noise. Maybe if I find myself outside at 2 in the morning, I could find that peacefulness more often.

Then again, there is a chance that I could just stop talking and accomplish the same thing during the rest of the day as well.
