Ditto for me. But I remember when they omitted the change to Standard time under President Carter. There was a hue and cry over kids going to school before sunup. Even in So Cal, sunrise in December was at 8AM that year. Likely worse farther North.

Well there may be some hope. Senator James Langford from Oklahoma is trying to pass a bill that would do away with it .

Works for me. My children are grown.

I just remember the last time it happened.

If we went off of DST nowadays we'd probably have riots from people who imagine they've been robbed of something.

Anyway, the clock in my car will be on time for a while.

I know a guy who is related to the guy who came up with the idea - He's just as stupid! Next weekend here I think

I have a whole rant about the biannual time changes. But no need for me to post my screed here. The Internet is not experiencing a shortage of rants. I will save it for when we run low.

Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day!

Grimaldi's has a giant slice of pizza for $3.14 today. Only during lunch.

All I gotta say is: "Beware the Ides of March!"

Strange ramble, I know, but I'm home sick (not homesick).

Happy Pi Day!

Thanks for the reminder that I need to tell my wife Happy Anniversary!

Just kidding, I didn’t forget, although it is a running joke that I can’t remember if our anniversary is 3/14 (Pi Day) or 3/17 (St. Patrick’s Day).

Diameter x 3 plus 1/2 thickness will get you a steel tire without all those decimals, dangnabbit!

But speaking of pie, I took one of these over to women's wear to see if it was the same guy.

I love quiche, and I'm manly enough to eat it and not worry about it.

It was a best-selling book that came out in the early '80s. Kind of a joke book, don't remember much about it other than the title. My wife and daughter make killer quiche!

 

[Peregrin]

Every time I'm with someone who orders quiche I quote that book title!

I remember the book (although I never read it). I knew a guy who did, and he was very concerned about quiche and other things from that book, which made me kind of sad. I think I quote that book title, mostly to mock it, every time I eat quiche. (Mine is usually from Trader Joes, so probably not a patch on what you're getting!)

If Quiche consumption determines one's masculinity; one needs counseling!!

Try having your birthday on Ides of March, when one brother was born on the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination, and the other born on anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day.

My birthday is on the Ides of March, but I don't have any brothers. (Happy Birthday to you!)
