Cool and Breezy on Another Overcast Daylight Savings Morning Coffee Muses

The predominant sounds this morning are the wind blowing through the trees and a train on the railroad tracks. The birds are singing from deep in the cover of the woods to escape the brunt of the wind. And did I mention it’s cool… After our winter and with the wind, I’d almost call it cold. And the front is sitting on I10, 40 miles to the north.

Daylight savings time… what can I say about you. I don’t understand the rationale. Up north the days are so long in the summer, do you really need to shift the clock an hour one way are the other. And if you think about it, wouldn’t it make more sense to do it the other way?  Shouldn’t we be springing backwards and falling forwards? Just wondering…

As cool as it is this morning, I’m not going to last long out here in my ambling shorts and tank top, even with the hoodie my tapping hand is getting numb… And with daylight savings kicking in, I’m already an hour behind.
