It's 3AM

Here at the United Nations it is 3:20 AM. In Korea-land it is 4:20 PM. In Spain-land it is 9:20 AM. Eh...at least we're all in the same day and if America worked 3rd shifts still, it would also be a reasonable time for all the nations!

Something struck America the other day: at 7:20AM, when the United Nations Mobile leaves Headquarters there is no traffic going into school...we don't even need the 'Stop-Guy' (Korea's name for the Crossing Guard who safely escorts students across the street to school) to hold up traffic so the UN can dart across two lanes of busy traffic!

That is so odd! I remember a blog post in which the UN-Mobile ("Oh My Word" November 3, 2011) left early and the world about stopped, right in front of the school and the UN sat there, starring at the goal waiting until the sea of lights parted (looking back on it now, America thinks that the Stop-Guy was the only thing that allowed safe passage) before attempting the dangerous feet of moving 24 feet (8 meters).

How could such a thing happen? In the grand scheme of life, nothing really had changed: one nation in the car instead of two, just barely minutes before the the previous trip, and yet everything had changed! There is not even a hint of the impending traffic jam brewing.

It has been cold here. Spain, America thinks, had given up on the fact that it was cold. Ever since the funeral when the definition of cold was felt (and it has been colder since, once or twice) Spain has not worried so much about the temperature. Even to the point where the cold weather gear (hats and gloves) were still at the United Nations, lonely and awaiting some sort of warmth in their lives! Oh well, even though America cares a lot about Spain's welfare, the fact that Spain has changed it's geographical location just means that America has to draw a healthy UN boundary and allow this to slide (oh my goodness! has America just stepped aside where it could have imposed it's way!? What is the world coming to???). Spain received (finally) the "parting blessing" after leaving the UN. ..It was exactly one month late.

Well, 3:31AM has arrived and there is a slight bit of tiredness befalling America. The alarm goes off and the day stats in exactly 1 hour and 14 minutes. Thankfully there is time for America to take a breather during the day to regroup!
