What the rest of you are missing

I've always meant to tell the folks who don't get up as early as morning radio announcers what they're missing. A couple of mornings ago, a brilliant yellow, nearly-full moon hung low in the western sky. I didn't notice it until I got out on I-40 headed toward Greensboro and saw it following me in my side view mirror.

That got me thinking about the other cool things I've seen on a somewhat regular basis at 4:30 in the morning: awesomely clear skies and meteor showers, wildlife - including deer, rabbits, possums, skunks, foxes and a suspected coyote, and a strange man who walks along the road with his shirt off.

Y'all need to wake up earlier.
