Remember when you were a teenager who absolutely refused to heed the alarm clock? The avgas-burning aviation community has been rolling over in bed for decades, hoping that if it ignored the alarm, we could sleep a little longer. Now, California has turned on the lights, opened the shades, and ripped the sheets off of our desperate attempts to delay the inevitable. Someone has to be the responsible adult that keeps us from missing the bus, and the worse consequences that would follow.
And you know that if Mom has to call Dad to rip you bodily out of bed, the result will be much worse.
