Night Shift - after dark

Oops, oh well.

Not many seem to be here, when the interesting questions come up.

Too bad, so-so sad

Not necessarily Vampires, but those like me who are more comfortable when the lights go down. Wanderers.....

Are you like me?

I would but unfortunately I have a curse like Cinderella, If I ain't in bed by midnight I turn into a real ********* at work the next day.I never thought I would see the day where I thought staying up late meant 11p.m and sleeping late meant 8a.m.

I have always felt more comfortable at night. It soothes me to look up at the stars at night, and the lack of annoying influences is a bonus

~I guess that has a lot to do with my webname, and I always did like to drive at night, when traffic was low

I can't seem to get anything worthwhile done until the sun goes down, besides later in the night all the nut jobs are asleep and leave me alone!!!!!
As matter of fact I'm such a committed night owl I even worked the night shift in Viet Nam back in 67-68.....

BINGO!

But beware of the period when the bars close - about 1 or 2 AM

The NUT JOBS you worry about are going home at that time of night...

I've been accused of howling at the moon.

~ I just liked it - it is so pretty...


Besidezzz - I have never been there


I feel comfortable in the night. I like to watch the pretty lights of airplanes in the sky and see the stars

Sometimes meteors burn themselves up, tracking like fire streaks...

One day I want to see the Northern Lights with my own eyes

This time of year up here there is no night. You have to pull the black out shades to fool the system that it is time for bed. The sun sets is 23:33 and sun rise is 4:29.

We really cant call it after dark.

I'm that way also. Nice and quiet after the nut jobs go to bed.

I enjoyed working tuesday to saturday, as my mondays were at a secluded lake fly fishing, and on mondays all the nuts were at work.

The day is so hot it sweats the water out of me -
WHY am I doing this...

Here come the tasks of the day
And am I prepared?

The salted water runs down off of me so fast...
How can I keep up with that?

~And there is no wind to speak of.

HOW TO SLUG DOWN WATER AT THIS RATE when the locals all laugh at me.

How can I live here?

I absorb water to survive at all...
