OMG! You're under 35, ain't cha!?!? A geezer like me is happy to wake up after 10, having coffee, getting rid of...., never mind, hiking a couple of hundred yards, looking for a group of youngsters who have a camp and fire set up, boring them to tears with, "When I was your age" stories and dying around 2030 until the next day. (For you civilians: 2030 = 8:30 P.M.) ((For you ex- and current military officers: the big hand is on the 6 and the little hand is between 8 and 9 and it's dark outside.))

126 days!! Oh, yeah!
