I woke up to the tunes of Eagles' Hotel California, from neighbor's extremely good HiFi. What a nice song.
And nothing for breakfast. So I'm having very strong coffee. Maybe this is the wrong tactic. I might be dizzy later.

Sleep tight... It's the bed that should be tight, not the person. Do people wish a good night to furnitures? No I don't think there's any truth to it. The same for other theories. But they are interesting.
