semi-narcoleptic me

A decided to practice at the gun firing range yesterday, so I accompanied him. While he and Jojo, his instructor, were in the firing area doing a few warm-up gun draws (whatever that means), I put on my ballistic glasses and ear muffs, and sat down in one corner. I watched A fire away for a couple of minutes but then my eyelids started to droop, and eventually, I fell asleep.

I. FELL. ASLEEP. INSIDE A FIRING RANGE!

Jojo was laughing at me and said he had never encountered someone sleeping inside the range before with heavy firing going on. And A happened to fire a lot of rounds that day. Even with ear muffs, gun shots are incredibly loud and take some getting used to.

If World War III ever happens, I can sleep through it just like Rip Van Winkle.
