The first sunrise of the time off

Barney Fife once told Andy what to do on time off: "Gardening? Andy, that's no vacation! What you oughta do is get your blue suit cleaned, pack your swimming trunks, catch the Sunburst Special to that Miami Beach. Get yourself a room and a bath in one of them beach cottages. And then all day long you lie out under the sun, eatin' salt water taffy with one of them cute blonde Miamians. Then at night you crank out the dark blue, put a little Windsor knot in the old striped tie and you take in one of them rabbit girl clubs. Va-va-va-voom!"

    It was a good day. Bagel place, car inspection, reading a good book at a neighborhood pizza place, gun range, bar. A good, quite varied day.

    [...] the sunrise but before the gunfire, there was walking for fresh-squeezed orange juice and then egg and cheese [...]
