It was actually a rather mild day here on the Planet Ann Arbor but it was dark all day and rained on and off. So, here I am, creeping along toward the State / Ellsworth traffic circle on my way home. Yes, I was going 2 mph. Probably slugging along in second gear. (Honda Honda go faster faster.)

I do not know what else to say except that the frickin’ time change wreaks havoc upon all of us in some way, shape or form. Back in the day when the beach urchins were small children, I remember that no matter whether we were gaining or losing an hour, it took something like a week before they adjusted.

I have had my own problems adjusting to winter time this week and I have finally figgered out that it’s not that we gained an hour on Sunday. Like, so what! It’s not even because it gets dark earlier. It’s because we are not accustomed to extending our daily tasks into the dark hours. I actually like when it gets dark earlier but it has made me extra tired at the end of the day this week. I will adjust.

Oh yeah, when I got home, I somehow remembered that there was actually LETTUCE to harvest in a pot behind the back door. It was pretty dark by then but I picked the old dead oak leaves out of the pot and snagged a gallon ziploc bag of lettuce. Thank you Mouse!
