I'm never able to sleep late at OSH. In the old days, it was one of the
babies crying at oh-dark-thirty. Later, it was the little kids, with
their endless energy. ("Daddy, daddy, daddy! Let's go see the
Warbirds!" -- before the sun is up...) Then it was lack of bladder
capacity after a night of drinking adult beverages.

Throw in a B-25 taking off low over your tent at 7 AM (or earlier, rules
be damned), and you've got the recipe for a week of sleep deprivation.

God help me, I love it so...

What happened to the yodeler?

Alas, he died.

Of course, in the North 40, we were usually too far away to hear him very
well unless the wind was calm, or out of the East. It was a haunting
sound, for sure, that awakened us many mornings.

I thought they were auditioning new yodelers, a few years back -- but I
never heard if they ever found another one...
