Default Up at night, stage 2

So the phone rings at 12:15 AM; it's the sherrif's department,
wondering why one of our cars seems to be left overnight at a boat
launch. I explain that my 20 yo is supposed to be spending the weekend
jet skiing and camping with friends -- but the car isn't in the
campground, it's at the boat launch. Now I'm wide awake! Accidents do
happen!

However, the nice folks at the sherrif's office tracked her down, woke
her up to confirm it was her, and called me back. She's fine -- she
just abandoned the car in a weird spot.

She's sound asleep in a tent. I may be awake for hours.

sigh How old do you suppose your kids are before you can stop getting
up at night?
