Once again, I will note that I am not cool with clock changes, but will not piss into the wind.

For the next three weeks, people who had clocks that automatically did that change are now looking at the wrong time. Congress made that change because Congressman made a decision equivalent to what Frazier and the Penn State directors did to Paterno. Made a conclusion based in Rush Limbaugh logic. New daylight saving times did nothing except create problem. Congressman just knew it was needed because their penis or vagina told them it was good.

Apparently heart attacks increase after DST begins. And workplace injuries

There is no law that says you have to change your clock, or can't set it back an hour or two if you'd druther.

The time change screws me up something fierce, for about two weeks. Last night I was up until the channel I was watching switched over to infomercials and I wasn't even close to tired. This morning my ass is dragging.

But all of my clocks are close to "correct," at least. I didn't miss any this iteration. And the one I missed last time, well, it's correct again now.

You're in work? I must have missed that. Is it a good job, or just "something"?

One of my native friends posted ... only a white man can cut a foot off the bottom of a blanket, sew it onto the top and think the blanket is longer.

I keep picturing clocks jumping out at me from behind doors, or curtains, or springing out of a foxhole...saying BOO!

Alarming. That must really tick you off.

or perhaps you're just a little cuckoo, like my grandfather.
