But being such a night owl, it's all that unrelenting, blasted sunshine that unnerves me as well!

How on earth do you daytrippers do it!!!
I LOVE the daytime! To me it is when the world is alive! I like alive!

You seriously should head to MI...you will not have to worry about sunshine, rarely, during the day!

Interestingly, I moved here from cloudy MN for the sunshine, and now, what's going on!

Perhaps it has somethig to do with working the night shift for 10 years, sleeping all day, and now I find the sunshine irritating. I don't mind a couple of hours of it after work, but no more!

Can hardly wait for the days to get shorter!

Here's some humor. The Cosmopolitan called today and wanted to know if I was interested in working in the cage. The woman than realized that I already worked for them previously in the cage. She then told me that they will call me when a different position opens up. No thanks! The company is backwards.... Davey read your book that you received at orientation. By changing positions you are back into a probationary period of 90 days! They also challenged my unemployment and lost! I also have initiated litigation against them but that's for another post

Good for you airics. People need to stand up to companies treating people like crap. My girlfriend recently got hurt at work and they couldn't give her any time off. On top of that they are making her do things that are further hurting her injury and against doctors orders. I see now why all these injury lawyers are in business.

Rihanna...lets not talk about how I feel about her

Davie, what do you mean by this comment? I had listened to my son play these songs upstairs over and over and over again. I finally asked who does those?

"Rihanna."

"Oh, Rihanna!" I replied.

"That's my girl," my son retorted.

You know what, I actually like these two Rihanna songs he plays all time..."Sex in he air and it's somthing or other good..." and this other one that I can't think of the lyrics to but the boy says they're both big hits. But I like it, though.

At Hasting's Book Store in Coeur d' Alene they played both of them while I was there reading car magazines one Saturday night. She's hired someone who knows how to write clever, catchy riff Jamaican-type songs.

No, but Davie, what do you mean by your comment, man? I gotta know.
