"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?

jerrymac, DVR!!!! i am usually in bed by 9. anything that comes on after that gets recorded for later watching cindi, i am a Patterson fan anyway. i was concerned that they would do to this series what they did to Bones. not that it's not a good show. they just strayed far from the books. in the case of WMC, they not only kept the story line, but did a great job with the casting. it's not often you can leave a book to watch a show, and not feel the loss. |

Kathy, ha, you must get up even more early than I do. I am just getting ready for bed about 9:00, I love to go to bed early and get up early. Nothing holds any interest for me in the late evenings, I would rather get up really early and start my fun day. Wonderful and greatest of days. Cindi

Must be nice.
I go to bed around...... 12:00... or 1:00... or 2:00
Then I most likely will awaken around..... 3:30.... 4:00..... 5:00
Be back in bed around..... 5:00.... 6:00
Might get another hour or two of sleep before the grandkids and/or dogs decide to start making noise.

Jerry, what in the blazes are you doing over there? Sounds like you don't even have a chance to sleep, you might get some kind of sleep deprivation syndrome type thingy (or are you already there?)  Beautiful day, Cindi |

Remember the discussion about the over active brain? Any little "wrong" and it has to replay the whole scene over and over again seeking the answer to what should have been done instead of what was done. Or... it comes up with an idea and wants to pursue that idea in the middle of the night when there is no way to do the pursuing. Or.... It just keeps yapping on and on about any and everything.
Here is an unusual tidbit. I was in the hospital once and they hooked my head up to a bunch of wires to gauge my brain activity. I was to lay quietly for 15 minutes with my eyes closed. The guy doing the test said I went to sleep many times during that time based on the alpha waves. I do not believe I ever went to sleep as I was aware of everything going on the whole time. I think the alpha waves also kicked in while I was resting quietly with my eyes open.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
