Life before dawn
Nothing like getting an early start at work after a long holiday weekend ...
I dropped Andrew at the airport at 5 for his 6 a.m. Delta flight to D.C. via N.Y. Air travel's never as simple as it should be.
Pretty quiet over at the airport that early. Easy in, easy out. Access to PTI is convenient, even if the flight schedules aren't so much.
Speaking of convenient, the McDonald's at Guilford College operates its drive-through 24 hours and opens its dining room at 5. The only other customer when I dropped by for a biscuit and coffee was a man from out of town asking directions to Reidsville. Don't know how he ended up at Guilford College, but I figure he still had plenty of time to find his way.
Last stop before work was the post office on Murrow Blvd., where the lobby is always open and automated services help you take care of most of your mailing needs.
Oh, yeah, the N&R is pretty close to a 24/7 operation, too. For lots of my fellow employees, very late-night and early morning hours are routine, and there are no long holiday weekends. I've got to appreciate what they do.

I was also happy to see the dawn today, Doug. After reading the silence shattering N&R editorial yesterday, that actually sort of critisized Mitch Johnson, who, during a proclaimed "hiring freeze"and budget shortfall, hired an additional person at 120K annum to ignore his bosses (city council members) so he doesn't any longer have to, I began preparing for the Rapture. When I awoke today and the heavens hadn't opened or the mountains crumbled to the sea, I was kind of surprised, but my family was mad because I kept them up most of the night praying.
Can there be hope?
