Crumbs,Tidbits, and Nuggets - oh, my!

As a young girl, it was "diaries." Then, in a futile attempt at grown-up sophistication, it was daily "journals." Now, in this electronic age, it's "blogging." I know - I'm dating myself, but writing things down has been a part of me since I could first hold a pencil. That old-school stuff used paper, killed trees. What the hell? I'm going green! Here's my Crumbs, Tidbits, and Nuggets offered in humble contribution to the greater digital universe.

Sunlight Deprived People - REJOICE!!

I am so impatient. I get by in the cabin-fever times of February by looking forward to the days getting longer so there is more "evening" time with sunlight.

I am joyful that Sunday, March 8, 2009, a mere three weeks from now, we will adjust our clocks one hour forward for Daylight Savings Time (except in Arizona* and Hawaii). And less than two weeks later is the first day of Spring - Friday, March 20, 2009.

Here's a pretty cool website on Daylight Savings Time with more information than you probably even thought existed on the subject!

Yippee!! (btw - we switch backto Standard Time on Sunday, November 1, 2009.)

*The Navajo Nation does recognize DST. I have experienced the weirdness of this. I stayed in a Holiday Inn in AZ on standard time but across the street the McDonald's was on DST as it was run by the Navajo Nation. Somewhat surreal. Residents told me they were simply used to it, that most things there are posted in both times.
