Well I guess I can get one positive thought out of this - for me the holidays have always been just another day.

They might look like trees on Mars, but they're not. Groups of dark brown streaks have been photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on melting pinkish sand dunes covered with light frost. The above image was taken in 2008 April near the North Pole of Mars. At that time, dark sand on the interior of Martian sand dunes became more and more visible as the spring Sun melted the lighter carbon dioxide ice. When occurring near the top of a dune, dark sand may cascade down the dune leaving dark surface streaks -- streaks that might appear at first to be trees standing in front of the lighter regions, but cast no shadows. Objects about 25 centimeters across are resolved on this image spanning about one kilometer. Close ups of some parts of this image show billowing plumes indicating that the sand slides were occurring even while the image was being taken.
I read about the DC Sniper story and remembered when Adarqui was in big trouble when he was running in the streets in Florida at ~3 AM and he was about to become a gang initiation shooting victim.
Well the gang initiation thing happened, but it was ~1 AM. I ran faster than Usain Bolt that night. That dude probably would have caught up with me in my current state - definitely not when I was jumping 35+ and squatting every day
I don't do that anymore. I'm running in the dark again, but during normal human activity hours (so lots of people out on the streets).
