I haven't thought of hanging out at the grocery store at 3 am. I may try 
that the next time, just wander the aisles and chat. I wouldn't call 
this place a 'big city' but just a college town. That probably explains 
why they are even open at 3am to begin with.

I switch between 30 hour days when I have a big project to work on, and 
normal days other times. But since I can sleep through the upstairs 
neighbor's kid running around and banging on the piano, but prefer to 
work in a quieter environ, I just find myself coding from 11pm till 6am.

PS garlic = good, mirrors = bad =)
