Rising early is not very strange. What's strange is Mr. Tricycle Rider's 
absolute compulsive obsession with me. Snarking at my posts seems to be 
one of his life's top priorities, and about 75% of his output here. It 
may be 75% of his total accomplishments at this stage of his life.

It's certainly a sign of a miserable old man.
