they want visual aids. All I'm saying is that the visual aids should be as accurate as possible,

There are teenagers that can't read analog clocks.

Lots of them.

Another reason I didn't move to CA... Intelligence. Those are adults raising those teenagers. I have a Movado watch with just a 12 marker and no dashes or anything. Just a diamond or something at noon/midnight. My kids can read it no problem. And my youngest is a mimbo (male bimbo - I think I created that term actually).

I actually don't mind DST. Especially this time of year. It's an excuse to get smashed early, go to bed early and wake up like life is on the same time. Did it last night. Everyone thinks the fall is better. That's when my depression trigger gets going. I need sunlight. It wasn't snowy, but this is the gloomiest/darkest winter I can remember here in IL in my life.

A lot you guys don't have to deal with cold weather AND no sun. The combo is rough. And by cold I mean 15ºF for highs. We didn't leave the hot tub yesterday because it was flipping cold in the shade and it's March.

I know. I grew up in suburban Chicago and then Michigan.

For years I felt like I was cheating somehow for not suffering in the winter. California sucks in a lot of ways (wokeness, taxes, crime) but the weather is about as good as it gets.

I need to get a job in Arizona or Indiana...

Every place has its flaws. My official retirement goal is the USVI's. Any of them. They can get slammed with hurricanes. We just had tornados here 1 mile south of my house. Live near water there's tsunami potential. Hurricanes. Always potential flooding issues.

I do actually like snow, I just can't stand less light. I am feeling groggy right now, but I did have a long weekend of drinking and eating snacks and all meals out which I rarely do. The toilet is upset with my ass currently... It was fun for IL though I'll give it that.

Tip for anyone that partakes in weed consumption. Do NOT drink it. I didn't this weekend but I warned a buddy not to. Had the whole can... he was toast. Probably didn't help he had mushrooms earlier in the day. At least cleaned the house we rented when we went out to dinner and bar hopping.
