Daylight Savings Time

A re-post.....from years past:

Springing............Forward


Daylight Savings Time.....

To be quite blunt.......Daylight savings time sucks! Tomorrow....check that...today..... at 2 am we will set our collective clocks forward 1 hour. Why? Our time pieces in our body will have to adjust needlessly for this ridiculous attempt to cheat mother nature.

How......exactly....... are we .......saving......daylight? And.....what are we saving daylight from? Is .....daylight ..... in danger? Does......daylight.....need to be rescued? Oh, my bad. We're not saving the daylight from an unknown enemy........We are saving daylight........for future use. So....should we freeze it ........or can it? Or put the daylight in a bank ....and earn interest.

Now, personally, I happen to like daylight. And for years now, I have done what most Americans have done for the last 30 years.......In March........I save an hour..........of daylight.
Only to give it back in October! And when I give it back........I have no return on my investment. I just........don't get it. Spring forward...........fall backward......why? And for.......whom?

Daylight.........could care less.......In a 24 hour day..........daylight shines for how ever many hours.......regardless if we humans manipulate a doggone clock.

Meanwhile.........the moon is watching all of this........and thinking........."Hey....what about "moonlight" savings time....... We want equal representation". We too..... want to be saved.

Imagine that..............then again.......just set that darn clock ahead ......save that hour of daylight........and be a zombie for a few days before your body adjusts......

Daylight Savings Time............

Yuck!!!!

Thoughts.......on a Cold....Friday Night

Lately........we have been presenting the news & views.....

Tonight.......some thoughts....from yours truly.


Things.......I think I think:


There's nothing better....that a Friday night high school football game in Georgia.


2 Live Stews........on 79o The Zone......and  Sporting News Radio  will have you hooked...with one listen.


15 shopping days.....before Christmas.....Are you done?


Are the Atlanta Falcons.....really 10-2?

Are the Carolina Panthers......really 1-11?


I think......the San Antonio Spurs.......are the real thing.


I think .....the NCAA....is stupid......to wait until Jan 10....to play it's championship game.


The UGA mens basketball team......will be pretty good this year.


The ...Steve Harvey Morning Show...is great radio.


Have you called......a family member lately?   Just to say hi?


I think......if you can't see the difference in HDTV...from regular TV...you are legally blind.

I'm feeling a little giddy.....we're over 10,000 page views...who'd a thunk it?


There......my thoughts.......on a cold Friday night!

The Ultimate Price


As we observe another Memorial Day, let us pause to remember the soldiers in so many wars who gave so many of their lives. Too often, we take our armed forces for granted. And if it means a Holiday has to be created for us to remember them..........so be it!

A closer look ..........at all those casualties... From Wikipedia:

Wars ranked by total deaths

Rank ↓ War ↓ Years ↓ Deaths ↓ Deaths per Day ↓ Deaths per Population ↓
1 American Civil War 1861–1865 625,000 599 1.988% (1860)
2 World War II 1941–1945 405,399 416 0.307% (1940)
3 World War I 1917–1918 116,516 279 0.110% (1920)
4 Vietnam War 1964–1973 58,151 26 0.003% (1970)
5 Korean War 1950–1953 36,516 45 0.002% (1950)
6 American Revolutionary War 1775–1783 25,000 11 0.899% (1780)
7 War of 1812 1812–1815 20,000 31 0.345% (1810)
8 Mexican-American War 1846–1848 13,283 29 0.057% (1850)
9 Philippine War 1899–1902 4,196 5 0.006% (1900)
10 Iraq War 2003–present 4,079 2.34 0.001% (2007)


That is an awful lot of lives lost for causes..........good ....and bad. In their memory..........we offer salutes.......
