Always like some military enlightenment so I can better discern what I see in the movies from reality.

And for a long time I would wake up at 5:30 regardless of when I went to bed. That combination isn’t sustainable…

Love the morning though and wish I could be out in the world everyday before sunrise. So far that’s an infrequent occurrence…

Why then you all ask…because that’s when the human body is at its lowest point of alertness. Actually, you’re supposed to attack at pre-dawn so that the growing light aids the attack….

Hence the related expression and act of “Stand To”. Where everyone is supposed to be woken, again pre-dawn, to counter the expected attack. Nice of all sides to follow the same mantra huh? 🙂

The above diatribe brought to you courtesy of a former history major, ex-soldier and and current codger.

An early morning ride is special but left to my own circadian rhythm bedtime comes about 2:00 AM and “morning” an appropriate number of hours later. And it has gotten worse since I retired. That skewing of my inner timepiece would be why my own blog usually has sunset pictures rather than sunrise pictures.

I used to open my eyes at 5:30am and was ready to roll. Now, well, it’s hard work to see the sunrise on most days.

I have to add it to my list of aging changes…

Why, indeed!
