To ME, the dark ages is getting up in the middle of the night to check on what the "fuuuuudge" the dogs are barking at on both sides of the house. The killer is, I already know it's coyotes, I go and look out the window AND WAIT for one to run by...don't know what I'd do when it did...maybe just the satisfaction that I can now report to the mrs that "I did my manly duty by checking on the situation".
. Once this has been accomplished I am now fully awake and procede to move out to the couch to watch some tv in hopes it'll lull me back to sleep...the likeliness of this happening is zero to none PLUS 9 times out of 10 it's on a work night.....FYI: I get my best sleep at the rez
cuz the dogs aren't there!!!!!!!
