Springing ...Forward

It's that time again...a re-post of one of my favorite posts:

 

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!!!!

Things ....We Learned......From the Week-end

In this small southern college town.......

We bid a farewell to "Daylight Savings Time".    The sunrises will be later....the sunsets......earlier.


Is it really worth all the fuss?     Either do away with it....or make it year round.  I'm tired of ......"springing ahead"  and "falling back".

Things from the week-end:



Well now......Nobody saw this coming.....right?

Cowboys fire coach after atrocious start

Wade Phillips is out of a job a day after Dallas falls to a 1-7 record with another embarrassing loss. » His replacement


This old man........saved his coach's job......at least for a week:

Brett Favre Comeback

Brett Favre Ignites Comeback To Win In OT

 

 

The ultimate......."no no":

Channing Crowder Leron Mcclain

Dolphins Linebacker Accuses Opponent Of Spitting In His Face

 

 

Okay.......so the Hawks won't go......82-0:

Richardson, Suns give Hawks first loss, 118-114 - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

Hawks lose for first time
The Associated Press

Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash (13) celebrates a shot with Suns forward Hedo Turkoglu (19), of Turkey, during the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Hawks at an NBA basketball game at Philips Arena, Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010, in Atlanta. The Suns won 118-114. 

 

Is it bad luck?   Or is he just....fragile?

Uh oh....Stafford hurt again - Fantasy Football & NFL Forums By ...

And......finally....what America watched .....at the movies:

    #1 "Megamind" ($47.7 million)
    #2 "Due Date" ($33.5 million)
    #3 "For Colored Girls" ($20.1 million)
    #4 "Red" ($8.9 million)
    #5 "Saw 3D" ($8.2 million)

Things ....We Learned......From the Week-end

It is a Monday......Spring is supposed to be here....but.....The winds of March say otherwise.  It's still rather cold......and if still feels like winter.

Things we learned?   Let's see:

Tila Tequila...... does not play with a full deck.  What a moron:


Tila Tequila Makes an Ass of Herself

Still in mourning from the death of her girlfriend Casey Johnson nearly three months ago, famous person Tila Tequila wore a see-through black dress to go food shopping with photographers in L.A. on Monday.

Tila Tequila





Tom Brady......is not only a "man's man".....but also ....quite the "lady's man too:

Tom Brady -- Gisele's Diaper Bag Assistant

While at Gisele's sister's wedding in Brazil this weekend, Tom Brady proved he's a team player and helped carry their son Benjamin's diaper bag.

gisele and tom brady



Finally......a .....final four:





This Brittany Griner....can play!  She is 6'8"......and can dunk with either hand....she has her Baylor team in the "Elite 8"....Last we saw her......she was cold cocking an opponent with an awesome right hook.



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

I still have not gotten  used to Daylight Savings Time.

My riding lawn mower.....(for the 2nd straight year)  has a flat tire.  Did I not learn anything....from last year?

March......is certainly going out....like a lion.

I feel......smarter.....do you?

Daylight Savings Time.......Once Again

I was not asked.......I was not contacted...Nobody considered my thoughts....

So here they are.

I hate Daylight Savings Time.

So many clocks to change.  4 vehicles........3 wrist watches.....4 wall clocks.....1 microwave....3 televisions.......2 computers......3 alarm clocks.....1 oven.......3 dvd players.......2 cell phones.....and 1 GPS.

Thank goodness the computers,  the cell phones,  and the GPS have the good common sense to set themselves.

So much work involved in cheating "Mother Nature".   I believe.....if my math is correct...there will still be 24 hours in a day.

But I know .......tonight.....I will lose a precious hour.

An hour.....not to have back.......until 6 months.

Daylight Savings Time.....

It sucks.....and I'm pissed.

Things......We learned from the Week-end


If......it's Monday.....


Then we should be a tad bit smarter........For ....we learned a few things.....from the week-end.


Two college football programs.......very over-rated: Georgia and USC......


Two college football teams......that are "pretenders": Oklahoma State and Iowa....


Brett Favre..........is still.......one heck of a quarterback.........

The NFL football NY Giants.........have some serious problems.....

The Tennessee Vols........are a pretty decent football team......

The Oakland Raiders.......are a bad football team.....

The Atlanta Hawks.......cannot win .......on the west coast.....ever.......

The NY Yankees.......will win the world series....

NASCAR.......is only as good.....as the last spectacular......wreck....

And ........the most important thing we learned? Set those clocks back......before....going to bed. If not.........Sunday mornings on a Daylight Savings Time week-end.......can be .....shall we say......a bit confusing.

Monday......Mournings....



Who's in charge of this stuff?.... I did not remember to set my clocks back until about 8:00 am Sunday Morning. Thank God , I didn't have to work or had anything pressing. Think about it. How many time pieces does the average American have. The microwave.....the TV.....the oven....the VCR.....your computer....your car....your cell phone.....your alarm clock.....your watch....the clock in the bathroom....the clocks all around the house.... Solution?......Keep Daylight Savings time...Year round.....What's the big deal?

Super Bowl 41...and 1/2 lived up to it's billing.

New England beat the Colts 24-20 in a game between two previously undefeated teams. The Colts defense is better than advertised. Their team speed was more than the Patriots anticipated. That said...... the fourth quarter was where New England made it's move. Randy Moss (the freak that he is) made this a one man show. There will be a re-match......( the AFC Championship) And maybe by then , Coach Dungee and the Colts will have an answer to Mr. Moss.


LSU 41

Alabama 34

LSU escaped.............again They went up to Alabama.........fell behind......and ultimately came out with a victory. The tigers are a talented bunch. Talent won this game. They were out coached.....out played............but they still managed to win. By that win, LSU moved up to the number 2 ranking in the latest BCS poll.


We're not in Kansas........any more......Or are we? Kansas .......is turning the tables....The Jayhawks just put 76 points on the scoreboard against the once mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers.....76 points!...................They blew out Nebraska 76-39 Saturday . No ......not a basketball score......just the reality of 2007 Nebraska football.


$46,344,000
The new film, American Gangster grossed over 46 million dollars in it's debut over the weekend.....Reviews are mixed.....But be very aware.....Denzel....plus Russell Crowe............equals megabucks.
