I Stopped at Starbucks....
...and got an "Awake" tea. Don't ask me why, it was night and I was driving somewhere. When I took a sip it was luke warm and I remembered it was full of caffeine. "You'll never sleep tonight" I said to myself. I pushed the down button for the passenger side window in my truck and went to toss out the teabag. The string got stuck on my finger and the wet bag landed in the passenger seat. Shit!
As I approached the parking lot of my destination the snow banks were piled high and the entrance was full of cars. I took a right and headed down through the larger section of the parking lot. My headlights illuminated the rows of cars and snow banks. When I reached the end of the row I started to turn left to get to the front of the building.
There was a white Mercedes Stretch Limo parked to the right and the front passenger door was open. I was focused on the door to the right and the snow bank to the left since there wasn't much room. All of a sudden there was a figure in front of me. I hit the brakes ( I was only coasting) but still bumped into the figure. He walked off but there were other people milling around. Now I'm thinking insurance claim and all the crap that goes on with that!
I put the truck in park and got out. There was a crowd in front of me and they moved aside as I approached the person I bumped. He was seated in a chair and when I got closer he looked up at me.
This is who it was.................. >LINK<
WTF? I gotta lay off the Guiness and Pickled Eggs for dinner! I was up at 3:38 with that one.
I would also like to thank Chiefnosewetter for leaving that image in my mind.

I was leaning....
....against the railing of the beach house. It was a cool summer morning and the sky was just starting to lighten with a promise of a beautiful sunrise. Beer cans and drink cups were strewn about from the all night party. There wasn't any sound other than the gentle lapping of the waves against the sandy beach. The rhythmic hiss of all the sand and shell particles slowly grinding together was soothing in a primal way. Internally I commented to myself "Even the sea gulls are still sleeping" and smiled.
The sky had taken on the amazing tapestry of vivid colors that make staying up all night so worth seeing.
I grabbed an ice cold beer from the cooler to celebrate the fact that I had stayed up and watched such a wonderful beginning to the day. One that has happened for eons and has been watched by countless species for as long as there has been life on this planet. There were distant voices from inside from others that had stayed up all night as well.
Suddenly a huge flash lit everything like giant flash bulb going off. The source was behind me.....
