Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 16, 2018

No. I’m a bear.

There are people up at 7:am?

More human than some, Aunty.

I’ve not had my coffee yet; I’m only semi-human.

I’m not human, Aunty. Didn’t you watch Warner cartoons when you were a wee tyke?

Morning people are hard to love.

When I first went to work in AZ in the early 70s we grunts started at 7.15. I eventually ‘graduated’ to marketing, which which meant starting by 9. Deep joy!

Just a new set of batteries

Being retired, I can get up when I want to. Imagine my chagrin that I usually wake up around 7.

Yes, yes i am. Not so much though when my alarm clock goes off at 4:30am.
