There Goes the Sun

There Goes the Sun

or: It Gets Late Early Out There

 

As much as I dislike daylight savings time the first night back to standard time is always a bit of a rude transition. Seemed especially odd watching the late afternoon NFL game. Dark as night outside my window while the game was bright as day. Hope everyone had a happy national begging for candy from strangers day. Feel kinda sad for the local kids. Halloween on a Saturday and trick or treating is over before sundown. Sundown is when it’s supposed to start. It’s not even worth carving a pumpkin anymore. I used to do a mean Boris Karloff as Frankenstein pumpkin. Lit up in the dark it was, as a 4 year old Trick-or-Treater once said, “not your usual pumpkin.” Nowadays you can’t even tell it’s been carved (skinned, actually) unless you’re right on it and even then it just doesn’t read in daylight… sigh.
