4AM call time

Upside to waking at 4AM to catch an early morning flight:

• Full moon hanging like a heavy pearl in the night sky


• Wide open tollways; the feeling that you're the only person left in the world -- except for maybe that drunk guy who just passed at an unreasonably high speed


• BBC World News broadcast followed by a Mexican hip hop chaser

Disadvantages to the 4AM ride:

• Too many to count
