Daylight Saving Time. I'm updating my second clock now. So this year, unlike most years, I won't have one or more clocks that stay an hour behind for months. Well, the watch in the bathroom that I rarely use, I guess. It's probably two hours off now.

My major bastion of stability in my life right now is my motorcycle. That's beginning to bother me. I'm about to move, I'm about to switch cars, and my romantic life has been bumpy and changed a lot recently. I'm trying to get a new job. I change which groups of friends I spend time with constantly, so that's not much of an anchor. So if I'm in the mood to do something familiar that's not just about to change or go away, I grab my helmet.

I didn't realize how much having the same good apartment for three years reassured me until I could hear the countdown.

I think they should abolish Daylight savings time. It serves no useful purpose. It just screws with people's sleep patterns a little every year.
I love long summer nights, but the summers in California are long anyways , and I can do without the completely black nights at 7:00 in the winter.

Dunno. I can kinda see their point for people with regular schedules at more northerly (or southerly) latitudes where the days change more. Not that I'm a big fan of Daylight Savings Time, just that I don't think it's entirely useless.

As I see it though, Daylight Savings time doesn't normalize or reduce the eefects of summer or winter , it amplifies them the Summer days become even more brighter and the Winter days become even shorter when you figure in Daylight savings time. I don't see how it's helping anyone.
