And just what, pray tell, makes you think we're not ALREADY 
psychotic?  When you climb from UP, where do you go?

I'd go for 3 if I could make it; many nights I'd prefer not to sleep 
if the machine didn't need the self-repair time.

I'm last down, first up.  Sleep feels the same to me wherever  am, 
but life... ah... life's different.  (Plus I'm usually staying in 
places where if you want soft luxurious linens, bring `em yerself.  I
