In the article "The Evolution of Night Owls" in Psychology Today (Dec, 2009) states that a sudy proves that night people have higher iqs.
The accompanying photo is of a fellow mowing his lawn at night! Great idea, it would be a WONDERFUL way to let my neighbor who starts blowing leaves OUT OF HIS TREES at 6:30 a.m. that the muse strikes around midnight and she doesn't let up until 3ish.
An aside: Let me state for the record that I love my neighbors. The retired teachers main mission is lawn care. The other side is a local NPR on air personality, who has this sexy melting voice but is this tiny harmless looking lady woman. To my knowledge she has never blown Garrison Keillor nor does she have David Sedaris email address. Don't ask me how I know... Jokes people, jokes!
I don't mind him blowing the leaves out of the trees, I figure he is working through something. Or maybe he is REALLY into getting every single Fall leaf off his lawn.
Further on in the article: "Because the nocturnal lifestyle allowed by electricity didn't exist 10,000 years ago, we must now rely on general intelligence to override our early-to-bed instincts. So those with more of it stay up later."
For all you pulling the night shift, this song, is dedicated to you. Also, "The Bob Seger" is from my hometown of Ann Arbor Michigan. This one has easy to sing along with lyrics. Takes you to Summer, to being with someone who makes you gooshy in a good way. Good times to look forward to.
