It was a fairly dry yesterday, highly conducive towards the ability to drive about 200 miles in one day.
I visited my brother in Corvallis, and if you're going to use Google Maps to find that, I live in Hillsboro. Please note that when the map comes up of the area, there's this GARGANTUAN stretch of highway between us.
Anyhow, while I was down there, and discussing the concept of "sleep" with my brother, he handed me a packet of these little blue pills. It was, of course, a friendly gesture, and I did inquire as to the status of his stockpiles. Because I am not one to deprive anybody else of their well-earned and paid-for supplies. As it turns out, my brother only uses a quarter of a pill per night (half of a half) to go to sleep - and he had a whole box.
Well, when I get home, I think to myself, "I know that body chemistries are really different, especially between me and my brother. I think that instead of a quarter, I'll just have a whole pill. Considering that I take two Excedrin(r) PM(tm) pills, I figure, just for starters, I'll have one of these."
I took one them at around 1 AM, and I woke up at almost 1 PM, and all four of my pillows were missing. That's right folks. I SLEPT SO LONG AND HARD I WOKE UP IN THE WRONG JOKE.
Wow. I'm going to have to reserve these pills for some serious R.E.M.s.
