The switch to daylight savings time really did a number on the gym population. Fortunately, the two guys who were there to open were not affected. They have really gotten so much better about opening on time. I suspect about the time I get used to it, they will go back to maybe/maybe not.

But, there was one guy in the pool for about 10 minutes and the locker room stayed empty and it was definitely pick your treadmill day. Wonder if it got or will get busier today or if every's just writing today off.

I finally, after all these years, remembered to turn my two manual clocks before I went to bed. Saved confusion. There is still the one in the car to contend with but that's on a maybeIwill maybeIwon't scenario.

Otherwise, I'm pretty on board with it until tonight when it will be afternoon when it's supposed to be night. DST is so dumb.

The swimsuit I wore today made its last swim. It's now officially stretched out beyond what is decent to wear in public. Thanks for your service, suit. So, after I finish my pattern organization project today, I may whip up a new one. I have one cut out and ready for assembly.

Also there's a baseball game on TV this afternoon. Lot's to do and nothing that has to be done. Perfect. Next week seems to be rather have-to free. I need gas and a car wash and maybe that will turn into a trip to Costco early in the week. But that's really the only planned adventure so far.

DST is so dumb I totally agree.

Isn't DST pretty much obsolete now? People, including farmers, can and do set their own schedules, and can work all hours.

Obviously it's important to milk the cows regularly, but isn't it throwing off their routine also? Especially the extra hour delay in Octo-- oh, wait, now November.

Not to mention we're now in the wrong time zone 8-9 months of the year, instead of "only" half of it.

I've never felt the difference, only notice the timing of darkness and light, but I know it really messes up some people's rhythm for days or even weeks.
