*******************************************************************************

 We went out to camping last weekend. I haven't been sleeping in the wild-ground since long time ago that I was a boy--at that time, in the wheat harvesting season, the last step is threshing, which took long time and usually happened during night--since it's cooler, the children usually helped to do some preparing work and were not allowed for threshing--'cause it's dangerous for youngsters to access a monster that rotates at several thousand rounds per minute. So after we got tired, we just fell into sleep anywhere. Oh, it's right about this season.

We went to a camping groud about 30 miles away. Set up the tent, a 2 hr hike, a barbecue, a chatting by the fire, then we got into the tents at about 11. Lying on the ground in my tent, I saw the moon, so beautiful, so bright, so silent, that is tranqil. I really like that feeling. Wolves howled during the night, they even argued with the nearby dogs. :)

I had a dream, that a wolf intruded into my tent, I felt that its front legs jumped onto my chest, I tried so hard to move my arms out from my sleeping bag to protect me, I also forced my throat to cry "help". I knew (in the dream) that I was in the sleeping mode, so I forced myself to wake up. Then when my arms were almost out, and my mouth opened, I woke up. There's nothing on my chest, no hole on my tent. Oh, it's a dream.

At about 5 am, some birds woke up, they chirped in the trees, as if talking about the breakfast. Then new voices joined in, louder and louder. The last is crows, they must be very weak at hearing, since they are so noisy. Then I knew the night was over, yes, it was, at my left, the sun was casting its light on my tent. Then I got out, oh, what a wonderful morning! Then breakfast, climbed a small steep hill with a lot of poison oaks, fold up the tents, drove back to the seaside, and touched the water with our feet. Oh, it was so cold when the first wave of water came to meet my feet.

At about 2 pm, I got home, a quick bath, simple lunch, I sit on the sofa and turned on the TV. You know I didn't have a good sleep in the night, I guess that's because I drank some beer at the barbecue. I don't remember the first picture, the first sentence from the TV program, but absolutely I know the next ones have no relation with them--it was 2 hours later. Physical exhaustion never fails to be a good drug for sleeping problem.
