      Even then, some people are just basically nocturnal. When I have long vacations my sleep time pushes later and later until I pretty much go to sleep close to dawn and wake up around noon or early/mid afternoon. Really sucks when work punches me in the face again after that though.

        Yeah, mornings at the end of the ‘day’ were the best when I worked overnights or really late shifts. Sitting on the porch and drinking a beer with my roommate while kids passed by on their way to school was pretty damn funny.

        We had a garden when I was a young kid, it was a blast getting fresh vegetables and all the rest.

        It was possible because my mom was a stay at home mom at the time. When we got a little older and money was tight, mom went to work and the garden didn’t get planted anymore because nobody had reliable time to spend weeding or watering anymore.

        Requiring all the adults to work full time jobs, sometimes more than one, means no time for taking care of anything around the home anymore unless someone is lucky enough to retire while they are still physically active.
