It's been an uneventful, chilly, windy day. We're still waiting for the Tuesday weather forecast to firm up into something which screams "Day Off from Work" for me (I work for a school district part-time).
Aside from keeping warm and listening to the boiler going through the dollars of fuel oil I put in just last Wednesday, it's been quiet. So, I will take this opportunity to do what so many others are doing as well, namely reminding those who must
suffer through observe Daylight Savings Time to turn their clocks ahead one hour so that on Sunday, you will have lost an hour of sleep, you will wake to the sun not necessarily being up yet and the sun being in your eyes for an extra hour at the end of the day. I'm not a fan of DST and didn't like it when they moved it earlier and made it last longer. Frankly, I don't really see how it benefits our 24/7 civilization anymore. I've been told that even in this day, it's still more energy efficient with it than without it. However, I have yet to see the stats to back that up.
Anyway, I've done my duty and reminded. I've also turned ahead all the clocks in my life that need that manual move except my car's. If you normally have a leisurely Sunday, carry on in doing so and ignore the clock for the one hour that says its 7 AM when you know darn well it's still 6. I know I will.
Only 9 more days until Spring.
