Damn.

I want to stay DST all year.

1. I have to bike to work many days.
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 07:07 PM by alphafemale
I'm grateful for the light I will have in the morning.

I nearly was plowed to asphalt the other day by a car.

I'm grateful for the light returning to it's rightful place.

Good Morning.

6. Uncle Bert didn't pay any attention to it.
He was one of those bachelor farmers you hear about on Prairie Home Companion, but not from Minnesota.
Louisiana Cajun.

He didn't like the gummint fucking with his daily schedule.
Stayed on standard time always.

This sometimes presented problems for his family in the summer, but we learned to deal with it.
"Yawl remember Bert's an hour later than the rest of us."
:rofl:

While creating wives, God promised men that good and obedient wives would

And then He made the earth round
