Couple days ago me and pepper drove to Wataburger at 4am and got us some hamburger and a shake. All the way there, and all the way back we only seen 3 cars on the road. It's 6 miles from my house to the Wataburger.

Being able to get a hamburger without getting out of the car at 4am is what I like about living in the city. There used to be 24 hour auto parts stores. At one point even one of the GM dealership kept the parts department open 24 hours to compete.

I can however hear the drone of the city at 4am in my front bedroom. It's weird, that bedroom has no insulation in the attic above it. It is also 5 degrees warmer in that room than the rest of the house year round, even in winter. It is the farthest from the HVAC. The warmer in winter part confuses me. When my brother with MS lived here he stayed in that bedroom. I ended up putting a window AC unit in that bedroom and he ran it year round to keep the temp at 70°F. If it got over 72°F he would lose his ability to move.

My BIL lives way out in the country and uses a noise machine to produce the same kind of drone noise only louder so he can sleep. He grew up and has always lived way out in the country.
