puppetmaker: (Secret of Sherlock Holmes)

Spring is just around the Corner

As is the dreaded Daylight Savings Time which I hate with a passion of a fiery thousand suns. It has no POINT. It does nothing that they say it does. We need to get rid of it or push it back to where it was originally because I don’t like my child walking to school in the dark. Plus my internal clock has been and always will be on standard time.

Baseball is starting up with exhibition games that don’t mean anything except you get a look at the potential of your baseball team. Still fun to watch .

I have to build two fish and two oysters in two days and rig a bunch of jelly fish with lighting. All this done by 3 pm tomorrow and then back to the other projects.

I can do this.

Fish are not hard and don’t need clothing. Clams are not as easy but once sorted out they do go together nicely.

I can do this.

Yes, I know I am repeating myself.

Inky has a new sound that like a meow on a super sonic level. We have no idea how she is making it but we can tell that it is her.

I need more coffee.

I have a number of other things that must happen today so I guess I’ll get cracking on that list.

I am grateful that I can build puppets.

DST starts way too early and ends way too late; it needs to go back to the schedule of our childhood (late April to early October (September would be better but we're not going to get it)). On that I absolutely agree with you. And losing the hour of sleep next weekend is going to hurt.

But it does have a point: without it, the sun would be coming up at four o'clock in the morning here in June and July. Five o'clock is bad enough, four would be unbearable. Because of that, I am very, very grateful for daylight saving time. Very.

I, too, hate DST with a similar passion. Remove it completely, I say, early morning summers or no. (Heck, even with BST, the sun was setting at 10pm and rising at 4am in Scotland when we were there last summer.)
