[Sca-cooks] wake up calls was the merits of safety trim

[Wanda Pease]

In the East Kingdom Songbook, 1st or 2nd edition from Pennsic XI or XII,
there is song with a verse that goes:

"The Fat Duke is up to his usual tricks,
he's making great logs into tiny tooth picks!
On the head of the piper who tuned up at six!"

Refrain: "And all the poor fighters are cheering!"

I forget the name of the tune, but it's one of the standard "Irish
traditional".

My feelings about people who wake me up before I'm ready when there is no
forest fire, raging bull, or windstorm (Gale Force enough to sink the
Enterprise) amount to blind rage for three minutes, and deadly (revenge is a
dish best served cold) deliberation thereafter.

Wake-up calls that aren't yours are noise pollution, and deserve the same
consideration that other pollutants get.

I had my car's alignment checked. It's chaotic evil.

Until we finally admitted that we have incompatible sleeping habits and
started sleeping in separate tents, my morning wake up call was a series
of gentle pokes and shakes, accompanied by "I'm bored", "Wake up", and
"What's for breakfast?" It was less disconcerting than just having him
stare intently at me, causing me to awaken with that feeling that one is
being watched. I am NOT a morning person. He is. So we worked out a
reasonable recipe for oatcakes and he can now make his own breakfast.

The event this weekend is going to be interesting. One tent, one bed. He's
still responsible for cooking his own breakfast.
