Increased solar activity?

Woke up an hour before I was supposed to (did something in the dreams and finished it early) .. only to find that I had forgotten to set the alarm.

A lot of friends were ill today, some of them were still at "work", but coughing. I'm just experiencing mild headaches in the evenings. Though, other than that, I feel normal. Weather is pretty hot and my eating habits have changed.

There was a glitch in the system that controls traffic lights in our town.

In Thailand, an oil refinery exploded, close to where a friend lives.
