Kevin's Watch

I've said it before and I will say it again - 4 am is a perfectly normal and civilized time to get up in the morning. 3 am is still night.

I get up at 4. Also 3 and 5. Dam cats.

.. theyve trained you superbly well you is a minion

Yeah, tell me about it.

--A

hahahahaha

Not fun being a minion but hey yellow is a great colour

Not a fan of yellow actually.

--A

probably doesnt match your skin tone..

I sense you are a cool tone .. as opposed to myself who am a warm tone

meh you can be a blue minion .. its really ALL about the minionness .. if your kitties allow .. I guess you could seek their authorisation to choose a different more appealing minion colour

Yes, blue is definitely more my metier.

Every one should have one

Grumble. Even my cats are baffled about why I'm getting up so early.

"What, breakfast now? Okay, I guess."

Say what you want. But this year, for the first time in 20 years, DST brought me an hour CLOSER to Spring Break instead of stealing an hour FROM Spring Break.

I will take that as a WIN!!!!

I am glad that my home of Arizona is one of the two US states that doesn't practice Daylight Savings Time (Hawaii is the other state). That twice-yearly clock adjustment...who needs it?

I do. I love DLS it means I get an hour more daylight

Sure its a little darker in the morning but lighter longer in the evening

Yay you on your win DocG

Difference here is barely enough to make it worth it. No daylight savings here. Every now and then somebody suggests it, but nothing ever comes of it. Just as well, Africa time is complicated enough without it.

A sign of fall. I saw the first story on the upcoming time change and the debate around it, this morning.

Some things are inevitable: death, taxes, and the twice-yearly debate about DST*.

Why haven't we done away with this anachronism yet?

*Except in Arizona and Hawaii. And most of Indiana 'til they came to their senses.

Well, to be fair those countries don’t need to because the length of their day doesn’t vary much over the course of the year.

What Damelon said!
