Fall Forward!
Spring Back!

I imagine that the Spring forward time change is the worst. Getting the kids out of bed an hour early is not that fun!
Kind of cool for me way back when I worked for a 24 hour diner — worked an extra hour because I was working the graveyard shift. :)
Must not get dark out there till 10:00p.m. Actually I should know since I come through there (ElPaso) a couple times a year on my way to Las Cruces and Roswell, NM. but I never paid attention. Just kidding about 10:00 but 9:00p.m. is a definate reality being so far west in the central timezone.
I detest it.
I prefer the ‘Animaniacs’ version:
Early to rise
and early to bed
makes a man wealthy
but socially dead.
“I just love getting up at 2 AM to reset all the clocks. It disrupts my beauty sleep.”

A girl I worked with actually said something like that. The office went dead silent for a few minutes. No one was surprised though-—she was not too bright.

9:30 is normal for twilight during mid summer.
Wow... Mentone.
I have spent an inordinate amount of time working out on the Texas-New Mexico Railway... all the way from Lovington down to Monahans. Last big job was the crude loadout at Wink.
I would finish my day well after dark down in Monahans, and get myself 2 lbs of brisket from Pappy’s and then had to drive all the way up to Hobbs. Eating BBQ on the fly... with my bare hands... trying to not get sauce all over the cab. GOOD TIMES!
I lived off of the 75 cent 44oz refills at the Kent Kwik there in Kermit... filled with ice then coffee... like 6 of those a day from Kent Kwik and every Stripes and Allsups up and down Highway 18.
Being back in PA... I can’t explain how much I miss Smoked brisket... or even just a damned barbacoa burrito with fresh pico de gallo from the Valero in Eunice.
What an insult. I live in NY what am I?
Idiots run rampant no matter where they live.
Did I say New York??? Nah I didn’t because Taxachuttes is a unique environment Not only does New York have much to recommend it, I actually like the place (save for its few quirks).
No, you blanket insult people because they live n a stupid state. Not everyone appreciates the crap politics in their state. And many of us fight the crap because we love where we live. I was born and raised in Mass and just came back after a 4 day trip. Conservatives are out numbered but they try.
I hate the blanket statements
wow. just take a breath and relax a little bit. your sense of humor is stressed due to the current situations. A little joshing back and forth alleviates the crankiness.
Heh. Fair enough. May your evening be full of light.
