The time is out of joint, O cursed spite . . .

Time for my twice-yearly rant about Daylight Saving Time and the removal thereof.  Consider it said.  Typed.  Whatever.

Anyway, I could see my jeans and sweater when I got up and dressed this morning, 6:30 plus/minus, so that part's okay.  But when the sun sets before 4:30 this afternoon . . .

I may have met that one, or may not. It didn't pop out at me, anyway.
