We started tiling around the fireplace at Homestead South today. Man, I hope this comes out as Marcus is envisioning it.

Today we participate in that twice-yearly moronic tradition of screwing around with our body's clocks by trying to fool ourselves by adjusting the time.

There are a set amount of hours in any given day. Who cares when it is light or dark outside at any given hour? If it bothers you, change your schedule. Is it really worth the depression, accidents and lost productivity caused while people's systems try to adjust to the outcome of this nonsensical practice?

Add to that the fact that the United States decided to change when they do it a few years ago. The United Kingdom time change was last weekend. Then there are the places (like in Arizona) that refuse to participate. The whole danged thing is ludicrous.

Wow, not a whole lot of posts in the last year and big surprise that I didn't finish NaBloPoMo in 2013. I'm really finding it hard to write here like I used to. I was doing well on my latest Project365 attempt, and then it went into the toilet. I'm going to attempt that one final time beginning today and if I fail, I give up. Since today is November 1st, might as well try to complete National Blog Posting Month, as well.

Lots of bad stuff and good stuff happening lately. I'm going to get that chronicled here this month. I'm really having a gut feeling that something big is going to change. I don't know what (I have hopes), but it's just a really unsettled feeling.

Today I had the first relaxing day since my dept. supervisor walked off the job on Sept. 23rd (more about that later this month). I actually go to take a walk in the Jewell Wetlands with Marcus & T (sorry, he hiked to pee just as I took the picture - it's the only picture I had from today ).

My kidney pain had me up early, so I spent some time out on our front deck enjoying nature. This trio of deer paid us a visit. I also got to watch the chipmunks frolicking.

This strange bug was on our front deck this afternoon. I tried Googling, and I think it's somekind of longhorn beetle, but since my picture isn't great, I'm not sure. It does have really cool antennae, though.
