Seems to me there couldn't be more than maybe a few hundred or so kids in this country that might be out milking the cows or collecting eggs from the hens before they head off to school, so that argument for or against switching to year-round Daylight savings doesn't hold water one way or another. Also, the problem with kids having to get on buses in the dark again isn't strong enough to vote for or against the idea. The fact that some States will be able to opt out of the non-changing change is the real reason not to say yes to the bill.
If you live in, say, New Jersey, and they accept the idea -which of course they wouldn't because Trump likes it - but stay with me. So you're in Jersey and it's 9:00am, but New York and Pennsylvania didn't accept the new standard so they're not ready to open for business for another hour. Does doing all this lose everyone one hour of work time?

There's one particular bar I go to more than once a week. I guess that qualifies me as a 'regular'.
Thing is, I don't always go on the same days, but no matter when I do go, there are eight or nine guys - and a few women - who are there no matter when I go. Safe to assume they're at that bar every day. Safe to say that's the full extent of their social lives. Safe also to say how tragically pathetic that is, but that's just me being a kind of 'Mr. Variety is the spice of life' kinda guy. Beer is beer no matter where you are. If you can't break away from a few bar buddies and try something new and different, the conversation gets a little stale, doesn't it...

This is the Newsstand that used to be at the corner of 32nd Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan. This was sometime around 1935. The above pic is colorized of course and the one below is the original B&W version.
This really is one of those pids that improves dramatically through colorization, don'tcha think? I agree that some photos really shouldn't be fucked with, but I think this one's an exception to the rule.

SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, it is the largest federal anti-hunger program in the U.S. It provides monthly benefits to low-income individuals and families to help supplement their grocery budgets and afford nutritious food. Tell me how junk food fits in to the 'nutritional' part of that definition. And, just so ya don't think I'm blind, I've noted on too many ocassions that the vast majority of people I see using SNAP or EBT cards are gebuinely fat blach chicks with entirely too many bad tattoos - and bad attitudes. Juss' sayin'...

Standard time . Summer schedules, winter schedules . Leave the clocks alone
ReplyDeleteStandard time is the ONLY APPROPRIATE time for us to stay on.
ReplyDeleteThere's always one asshole senator blocking what the people want. Tom Tillis will block the Save Act. Tom Cotton said he will block the Daylight Savings Act and on it goes. How does ONE senator get to block what 90% of the people want?
ReplyDeleteThat Homeland Security post to illegals warms my heart but how many will ever see it. Shut down Catholic Charities and sanctuary states would be way more effective. Why hasn't that been done?
ReplyDeleteRe Snap...did you see where $68 of groceries at Target in 2020 now costs $158 in 2026? More than double in just 6 years. Insane. Nobody is doing anything about. the high cost of everything. Heads should be rolling.
ReplyDeleteSmoke from Canada, that's what you're worried about. Pretend is pot smoke blowing in.
ReplyDeleteKudos the the fire folks that freed the raccoon,I ever meet em will buy em a coffee or beer.
ReplyDeleteIt is little acts of kindness like this that keep me sane and not going full blown ballistic.
Raccoons are destructive. In my state its illegal to transport them elsewhere. After trapping a destructive raccoon, you shoot it.
