1. My body clock is way off...I got up from watching a movie and was
sure it was about 11...Nope. 7:30.

3. I'm split between a "time to go to work" feel and a "hell, let's go to bed" malaise...
I guess I'll just turn on the heater and watch the tube!

9. I opted for bed and was back awake at 4 am.
Your idea was better!

2. Ah, you're on the wrong end of the time zone.
So much better living on the western edge of a time zone -- it has the same effect as DST. Here, solar time is 35 minutes behind clock time in the winter, 1 hour 35 minutes in the summer. So, our sunrise is later and our sunset is later than out east.

Must be awful living somewhere like the islands of Maine on eastern edge of the time zone -- must be dark by 4:30 in December.

4. I think the Realtor should have disclosed that about this house 20 years ago.
Screwn again!

:P

5. Early darkness is usually just a volcanic dust cloud. Nothing to worry about.
You anywhere near Mt. Etna?

7. I stole that line from a very hokey scifi movie. Next comes the lava.
In a touching scene, the robot carries the astronauts across the lava while his feet melt away.

Tearjerker.
