Yooper Time

One of the things I have noticed up here is that life up here is on a different time table. I am not talking about the one hour time difference that messes people up if you travel back and forth between time zones, if you work in another time zone or just visit. It still messes me up. Having to leave here at 5 pm to get down to where I have to go by 5 pm can be confusing. :-) That isn't what I mean though. I am talking about the days up here. Life starts a little later. The days are a little longer. There is not a mad rush hour for folks to get to work by 6 am. A lot of jobs up here don't start until 8-9 or even 10 am. The days last a little longer too, especially in the summer. Just ask my neighbor who mows his lawn at 10 pm. It was still light out. Nevermind that I was in bed already with a headache, but he finally had the time to mow his lawn. Really? -_- I get it. I know it gets done when they have the time and if the time is, well, the last 15 minutes of daylight....then so be it. I can't bitch too much. My other half doesn't get home from work until after 8 pm most nights and we don't get to bed until 11, after everyone had eaten dinner. Lol. It seems crazy but it's true. Life is a little slower up here, people get up a little later, and the days last a little longer.
