    Sleeping in

    After years on the farm getting up at 4AM to get the chores done before going off to school for the day, waking up at the crack of dawn in teh army, and all the years working in industrial settings where we start at 6AM, Sleeping in to 5:45AM feels like I've wasted half the day. Any other early risers here?
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Hello.

    Farm? Army? crack of dawn?
    This is Texas, the cows take care of themselves, and you dare not try and milk them!
    Most cowboys have a hard time with the army, they are all like Chaney, or worse, and you remember what happened at the last ranch visit in Texas!
    The DADT policy is not so much an issue either, it is the 'My pet goat' thing.
    You see, the goats are used in a manner that is hard to explain, but the cowboys like that goat very much.
    So you see, you need to be very careful when you say things like crack, not that any of them are going to run out and get drugs, no, it is a far worse addiction than that!

    I have always been an early riser, and nowadays I generally roll out of the sack between 0530 and 0600 seven days a week. Unlike most of my friends who are slug-a-beds, I also turn in early, usually between nine and ten. Wish I could say that I was one of those lucky folks who fall into bed and are asleep before the head hits the goose down, but it usually takes me a while to cast aside all the trappings of the day. I have found that a fine single malt or a sipping rum is a definite aid to passing that soft barrier.

    Seems to me, late-risers waste the best part of the day. I can do a lot when I am fresh, but I tend to lose steam and become steadily stupider as the hours wear along.

    I'm always up at 430 - 500a.
    Slam some java..go and be the productive citizen.
    And then there are days like today..up at 430...head to the barn with some tar thick java..watch the sun bust the dark and ponder a rigorous schedule of extreme daywasting.
    3C here at the keyboard now.
    Sunrise rocks.

    I put my feet on the floor at 0400 nearly every morning. Even though I'm off today, it was no exception. I cherish the peace and quiet of the early morning, and if the sun is up when I awake, I feel like I've wasted half the day.

    The snooze button on my alarm clock actually gathers dust. I can't remember the last time I heard the alarm, which is set at 0500.
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
