DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME: CAN WE AGREE ON ONE THING?

I awoke this morning at 530am; or really 630am now that we have "sprung forward". it was pitch black. i normally get up between 600am and 630am. the days have been getting longer such that there is some light at 630. i was encouraged. not pitch black.

whats the point?

i now have to change a zillion clocks.

there is a lot of literature on the subject. Wikipedia is decent. but ask yourself this seeming commonsense question

when the days are naturally getting longer, why make them even longer and later

when days are naturally getting shorter, why make them even shorter and earlier?

OBAMA threatens. PUTIN invades

As per my last post, Obama , the EU and the Ukraine should have let yanukovich leave in peace and picked up the phone and told him that their interests in Crimea were safe

They didn't

Then, he of the red line in Syria proposes a new line in Ukraine and warned Putin not to invade, Putin laughed and is now invading

Nobel Peace Prize?
