At all hours of the night

I awoke this morning at 3:30AM from a troubling dream to the sound of dance music from the outside.  This caused me a bit of stress when I thought to myself “My neighbor must be having a party at 3:30AM.”  But by the time I got up it had stopped.  I deduced it must have been a car stereo with a door opening for an occupant to get out or get in.

This brings to mind how people are up doing all manner of things during all times of the night.  Yes, someone was out driving around my neighborhood at 3:30AM this morning.  And yes, there were passengers flying in a jet airliner overhead at 11:00PM last night.  These are unreasonable hours, but transport and entertainment (it seems) must go on.  As for me, I’ll be asleep in my bed at those times.
