  • Used to be on an odd schedule when I worked overnight.

    My work shifts were Thursday to Saturday, 1800 - 0500. So Sunday, when I got off at 0500, I’d stay awake until around 1900 (being up for ~26 hours) and then to go bed. Wake up Monday morning and have a normal Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then stay up all night Wednesday night until Thursday morning (another 26 hour stint) and the go to bed Thursday morning so I could then go to work at 1800 Thursday night again.

    Did that for about a year and it actually worked out reasonably well, but not something I’d entertain now that I’m older.

    That schedule is also the reason all my clocks are always set for 24-hour time and I can still fall asleep in broad daylight without any trouble.













  • It’s not that bad. I swear California nights at 40 and humid are worse than 0 and dry.

    Snow is easy to drive in if you learn properly and afford yourself extra drive time. Honestly, that old comment from some southern news broadcast is pretty accurate: “If you rarely drive on snow, just pretend you’re taking your grandma to church. There’s a platter of biscuits and sweet tea in glass jars on the back seat. She’s wearing a new dress and holding a crock pot full of gravy.” Just go slow and steady and everything is fine. It’s the folks that think they can still do 60 in their Jeep with 6” of snow and corner like they’re an F1 car on the road that are the problem.

    Also, come on up, we’d love to have you! Just be sure you read or watch “How to talk Minnesotan” first. It’s on the test.
