The Coffee House

Regardless of the time I go to bed, or the time on the clock when the sun peeks over the mountain I'm awake, so the time change on the beginning of day is no big deal. Losing that hour at the end of the day messes with my cicada rythym.

When I was working 12-hour shifts, I never saw the daylight in the winter until days off.

Anyone else not happy with it being completely dark at 5 pm??? I wish they'd leave daylight savings time year round!

I haven't been very happy with ANYTHING for the last 2 years, lol. That is why I am VOTING tomorrow night if it is the last thing I ever do!

I took advantage of the early voting and went last Friday.
Please do vote, but be careful in this thread - we don't want to cross into politics outside the subscriber's area.

Beautiful! I haven't visited Maine in years, and remember fondly how beautiful it is.

If we make it there as permanent residents, you (and Leonore & Buzz) will have to visit.

I'd rather deal with nightfall at 5pm than have to wake up in darkness M-F.

I feel the opposite. I couldn’t care less if it’s dark in the morning but I absolutely hate that it’s dark when I finish work. Makes me feel like all there is, is work and sleep.

We've been going in to work "the back way" as a gas line is being installed parallel to a part of US 301, and one lane is shut down. We've been seeing a couple of deer, mostly does, along the way since we going through a rural area.

This morning a beautiful buck strolled across the road. I will definitely be taking the camera on the trip, from now on.

Circadian rhythm.

Since I tend to have more energy in the evening, I feel like I end up with more time if it is already dark when I leave work. When I get home, it looks like it is already time to get ready for bed, but then I see it's only 6:00 and I relax, knowing I still have the whole evening ahead of me. In the morning, however, it kills me to have to get out of bed when it's still dark. It makes me feel like I haven't gotten a full night's sleep and so I get out of bed feeling very unrested.

Morning all, a grey start here today but not cold at all. Today is my COPD review which I think I might fail but will have to wait and see as chest feels horrible.

Yuck, hope it goes well Dave. No COPD for me, but late onset Adult Asthma, diagnosed at 61. Gives me fits at times, and can send me scurrying to find an ER during a bad attack.

I waited in line to vote for about 20 minutes with my fellow Americans this morning. It’s the first time I’ve had to wait to vote at midterms.

It's been a National trend; record numbers of early voters, too.

It's been raining but not at the moment. I'm hoping to see Willy Whitetail this morning.

Will be going to vote shortly myself. I like to go during the off times. The people who have to work don't need me clogging up the line.

I voted, I was the first one at the door. I was prepared, took me 5 minutes.
