12:20pm
Do you know why the night seems strange?  Maybe it's only the absence of sound, it is also the absence of sense.

It is dark, and while not impossible to see, perhaps that makes it worse.  The mind takes what little it can see and tries to fill in the rest.
Sound isn't absent, but times alien to those who hear the day.
Touch is softer, more uncertain, sacred.  It is the soft smooth feel of water and air at rest.
Taste is more bitter, though ghostly and smell is muted.

I am so mad!  We were supposed to get our family pictures today and they didn't come in.  We had to reorder and tomorrow we have to call an 800 number and complain.
