You know who you are.
Been up all night with prostate issues? ;-)

For me it is usually the dog. I am a 2AM to bed guy anyway and if my
dog does not go out before that, he will wake me up at 3-4, like last
night.
We do like our late night run down FPL tho. I have always like walking
at night. It is cool, quiet, stars in the sky and sometimes a big old
moon.


I used to walk my Springer Spaniel at 2200hrs or so but then we'd run into other dogs and he'd start barking. Then I shifted to 2120 hrs. Now..to play it safe (he'll be 12 in June) we take a short walk at both 2130 and 2330 hrs.


What's with the 24 hr clock? Do civilians talk like that up thar?


IBM was all 24 hour clock too so I have no problem with it. It is
certainly more precise.
The thing that was different is they stuck with the WWII phonetic
alphabet. (Able, Baker, Dog)
