Saved by the auto blind retraction!!
Tom was "fighting" with his reflected image this AM, gobbling away at full volume. I was waiting for the Admiral, who doesn't do early AM watches, to tell me to shoot him so she could sleep, but the electric blinds, that are set to open at dawn, intervened. As soon as they starting going up, he beat feet for the woods.
Later today, I do expect a work request from Fleet Headquarters on how to prevent any future occurrences...
