Sleeeppp....
I swear, you guys are rubbing off on me. I can't go to sleep until at least 11, and I can't wake up completely until 10:30. I know that's not as bad as some of you, but I used to go to sleep 9:30, 10 o' clock, and wake up at 6, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. And just in time for school, too. Yaaayyyy....

I wake up at 7, stagger down the stairs, eat, then sleep til 10:30. But school starts Wednesday, and I'm not gonna be able to fix it by then. :(

At breakfast this morning, one of the birds in the yard crashed into the screen in front of the kitchen window. It was then that I came to wonder what would happen if you threw a person into one, and why Patterson never mentions the screens in MR.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but I think in the first book they remove a screen from the first house they illegally enter...
My favorite logical inconsistency from MR is a very small one... total lack of jet lag in the third book. A seven-hour flight from the East Coast to England is not something you just shake off and you're prancing about in fifteen minutes.

If they have anti-jet lag medications and the correct sleeping schedule, they could do it in a day or two (knowing this from experience; Israel and Japan).
My main question is how they flew all the way back to Colorado from Africa. Between the sheer lengths of the flights, the fact that they would need to cross through Greenland and Northern Canada in clothes designed for equatorial Africa, and the FAA (to say nothing of several dozen air traffic control stations) having a fit. With the size of their radar returns, I'm surprised at least one country didn't send fighter jets up to check on them.
There's a thought, Total gets sucked into the engine of an F-18. That's a million tax dollars well-spent.

Yeah -- but unless my memory is wrong, they're pretty much off the plane and running around London like it ain't no thang.
By that point I had lost hope. Wormhole or something.

Australia to Europe was 23 hrs... something like that. If there's stuff to do, the excitement will help. I mean, we got off the plane, took a bus to some little village in France, and went looking around. We were all dead on the bus, but, with a group of friends to hype you up and a bit of 'Oh my God, we're in Fraaaance. This is must be a dream. You don't need sleep in dreams' it's doable.

Doable... but you'll pretty much be sleepwalking. YMMV on personal tolerance of jet lag shenanigans, but still -- versus 'ohhhh god, I have a crick in my neck aaaand I gotta get up aaaand what do you mean I can't sleep yet', we have birdkids being chipper little insufferable fucks.
Okay, so not like that's much different from normal.
Albeit now looking at the chronology, I really do not believe they slept between leaving for Europe and sometime after arriving in Lendeheim, if then. Sleep deprivation explains a lot of that...
