Light Saber

I didn't get up until quarter past eight today. Well, that's what the clocks said although it's due to the early arrival of Daylight Savings Time. Sunrise was 7:35 and sunset will be at 7:10. I like the idea of the additional light in the evenings. I fear that today is going to be too overcast to be able to really tell the difference though.

There's a memorable Expedia TV commercial flogging their winter get-away packages. A woman looks up from her computer and out of a downtown office window. It shows the time is only after 4:15 pm but the city lights are on because it's as dark as midnight. Tears start to well up in her eyes and a pout forms on her face. Of course, then she can hardly contain her glee when she notices the great deals on Expedia.

Rather than feeling sorry for her, I'd say the bitch should be given a warning for her personal web-surfing at work.


This is a sunset from my balcony last week. This will now occur
an hour later due to the early adoption of Daylight Savings Time.
