yep, you have to get up pretty early to beat someone who's in a time zone 8 (7 ?) hours ahead of you.
or alternatively, just do whatever it is in your evening time, when i am most likely asleep. if you had a time machine, you could go back to last evening (your evening) and do it then. i can almost guarantee you i will have been asleep.

Really, I admire the efforts at passive emotifaction made by the merely human members of our community, but truth be told only a being with the brain the size of a small planet has any hope of accomplishing this.
I'm afraid when I add "squirrel" to the equation I end up, not with an "aha, what a delicate seasoning of connotation that NatCh adds to the raw denotation of his cromulent squiggles", but instead a vague discomfort behind my left ear, an urge to scratch that spot with my left foot, and the smell of damp leaves.

it seems to me that would be the obvious answer, and my cranium is significanly smaller even than most satellites.
