Only twice last night.


Only 2 guys were keeping the lights on at rec.boats. You weren't
one of them.

I don't hop on the 'puter when I wake up. Pee and back to bed.

My dog won't allow that (neither Ed nor Deuce). If I get up and pee,
he wants to go out and pee. Then we are both awake so I sit here in my
Laz e Boy until we both settle down.
These days we just go up on FPL and pee together. ;-)

I don't think Greg ever sleeps. He's too busy inventing things.

I do have a problem that I can't sleep because I am thinking about
things I want to make.
Thomas Edison had the same problem. He used to live on short naps.
Most software geeks are the same way. That is why places like Google
have places to sleep all over the shop. I know if I am immersed in
writing code, I don't want to be bothered by anything and there is no
sleeping. You just get in the groove and go.



When I had my business I did most of the proposal and technical writing
at home. I'd go to bed at about 9pm, get up at 2am and write until it
was time to head to the office. I still can only sleep for a max of
about 5 hours without waking up. But, I do take an afternoon nap once
in a while, especially in the winter.

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.

At 0200-0400 we pretty much have the night to ourselves, no matter
where we go but FPL is the best. I have about an acre up there that is
really only accessible from my yard.
(surrounded on 3 sides by water and an impenetrable jungle to the
north)
Occasionally we will run into a raccoon or a possum and I saw a cool
garter snake on a tree today but it us usually just us and the gopher
tortoises.

When we wintered in Florida I rarely went outside after dark and when I
did I carried the biggest, brightest, strongest flashlight I had. Don't
like surprises.

I carry one of those little "good luck to ya" lights and I seldom turn
it on. It really does not get dark anymore and I have pretty good
night vision. The light pollution in the US is so bad that on an
overcast night you can almost read the paper, either on the trail or
out in the boat. Occasionally on a very clear night and no moon, it
takes me a few minutes to adjust to the dark but I still seldom use
the light.
As long as the dog is with me, there will not be many surprises. He
sees better than me at night and is a lot more alert. (smells, sounds
etc)

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)

Real boaters who have graduated boating courses do on occasion. Y'all should try a course or two.

Well lit here on the city sidewalks but I carry a mini LED Mag Lite anyway in case Bronson does a job. We have to clean up after our dogs. Bronson is always sniffing on the narrow grass strips between sidewalk and street. With a fairly high pedestrian count including school kids there usually is some throw away food (or wrapper) for him to latch onto.
