Obama might get rid of daylight saving time!
If it’s true, I’ll be be thrilled. Time changes make me crazy.

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...

That would be nice. I can’t stand DST.

I can’t believe it. I HATE DST.

What I want is DST all year round. We switch back for the winter on the pretext that it gives more light in the morning, but soon we’re back to no dawn until 9 am, anyway, so why not just have more daylight in the afternoon when most people need it for after-work chores?

that would be most excellent. pick one time, leave it there, period. wasting away time/sunlight because of an idea Ben Franklin had about candles is pretty stupid today. i don’t even like Ben Franklin unless his picture is on the bills in my wallet, but seems he seldom appears in that venue. so F&*# Ben Franklin.

I didn’t think I was the only one. Is there anyone out there who thinks DST is a good idea?
