Is there anyone out there who thinks this is a good thing?
Arrrgh. I feel like half my day was stolen away... anyway, here's something I didn't know about Daylight Saving Time (note the spelling of the middle word!): next year we'll be going to it almost a month earlier than usual (via beep). I don't see that any advantage is worth the accidents, loss of productivity and other headaches that come with the change in time, so put me down as one vote to stop the madness!
In other disaster news, Aretha Frankensteins burned down this morning, which means that Chattanooga no longer has a hip hangout where they serve a killer breakfast all day long.
And the Katherine Harris campaign continues to circle the drain.
But, it won't be dark out at dinner time any more... or something... ugh.

Oh no! I hate to hear that Aretha Frankensteins burned down. I always heard about their awesome breakfasts. I had meant to go down and get some, but I never got around to it. Blast! Do you think they'll rebuild?
No more waffles of insane greatness :( I made a point to eat a breakfast there every time I came to Chattown.
I hope they rebuild! Where will Fletch go for waffles if they don't? But I haven't heard anything -- I imagine that it's too soon for them to know what they're going to do. They spent so much time pulling that place together that it's got to be heartbreaking to have lost it. I loved sitting in there and hearing the stories behind all the recovered objects that filled the building -- everything from the bar to the the many found objects on the walls came from some old building or another, right down to the wood floor under our feet. So much of what was in there was unique and irreplaceable.
Katherine Harris promised to spend her inheritance -$10 Million - on this campaign. We need to make sure she stays in the campaign and keeps her word. Maybe, I will go down to Florida and be her campaign manager, or you could do it Alice, right?
D.S.T. stinks.
Very sad about Aretha Frankenstein's. Hard to believe but the 6pm news comes on in 5 minutes, thanks to DST, so will be anxious to hear what happened.
Harris backed out of her pledge to put it all on the line a week or two ago. I guess she was hoping the promise would jump-start fundraising and when that didn't work she backed away from the idea. Anyway, she's going to keep Daddy's $10 mil.
Anything on the news about Aretha's?
NewsChannel 9 is saying people are taking a closer look at the chairs and couch that was on the front porch, but they're not offically sure what caused it.
Harris is a flip-flopper then, among other things.
Thanks for the link, Nathan. I hadn't thought about the wall -- it's one of many unique features of the place that I'll miss. I suppose I'll drive by tomorrow and see for myself what's gone and what's left... if the fire started in the big comfy furniture on the porch, my first thought is to wonder if it might have been started by a smoldering cig that fell onto the cushions...
Fast time, as it's called around these parts, totally sucks. Here it is, 11:47pm and I'm wide awake surfing my favorite blogs when I have to be up at 5:00am.
Here's another fast time story for you all. In Athens, Ohio (where I went to college- Ohio University) bars are a big thing and there's plenty of them, well over half of the Athens uptown area- packed almost every night of the week. Here a few years back, a riot broke out in the town on DST night because the bars closed an hour early. So the papers said. But I ran into my old roommate who was still living there shortly after and he told me that no one knew the bars would be doing this (they hadn't in years past). So all these bars were just completely emptied out on spur of the notice. The ejected people were standing out on the street figuring out where they were going to go. Next thing you know cops in full riot gear showed up and well, just started doing what cops in full riot gear do. The whole thing could have been avoided if the papers or someone would have just prepared everybody for it. Everybody besides the police that is.
Man, you don't like Daylight Saving Time? How do you think you got that nice, long summer day in Norway? Just because you were that far north? Heck no. We gave you an extra hour of "white night", so you could have plenty of daylight to run around all day and STILL enjoy a glorious evening and sunset! ;-)
I did like walking after dinner and suddenly realizing that it was 10:30 at night and still light out. Are you saying that this daylight savings nightmare is responsible? Ack.
