Sunday
Thanks to dumbass lawmakers who refuse to abolish the twice-yearly insanity of "Daylight Savings Time," I woke up already in a rage. I've blogged about how stupid DST is several times before, and still don't understand why they don't just split the difference and leave our clocks alone... set them forward 30 minutes instead of an hour, and just forget about it... FOREVER!! Daylight Savings is STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!! Why in the heck don't they put this crap to a national vote so we can finally be rid of it? I can't imagine that anybody feels it's necessary anymore.
Sadly, things didn't improved much, because the entirety of my day has been occupied working. It's not the best way to spend your day off, but it's raining and cold outside now so it's hard for me to get too upset that I didn't get to go riding today (as I had originally planned). I think my motorcycle must feel forgotten.
One thing I did get to do was play with the depth-of-field on my camera for a few minutes, which is kind of a fun thing to do...
I'm guessing this is a Dogwood tree or something. All I know is that it's pretty and pink.

Lovely photos Dave... I dig 'em. Since you're so cranky, let me add to it. I gave my bike it's quarterly bath and rode out to the beach to meet some long distance riding pals for dinner. Some of these guys rode out of snow to get here just so they can haul arse to San Diego. Some will stay there, some will turn around and come back, within 100 hours. The point of all this rambling, you ask? That even though you didn't get to ride today, you rode with me in spirit. :)
Great pictures, but I love DST!
I'm always riding in spirit! :-)
And how could anybody love DST?
Nice photos! I only like DST when it's time to turn our clocks back in the fall. This morning, I so couldn't get up because of the missing hour.
Indiana is one of the few places that doesn't "do" DST. I heard that this is about to change come June 5 tho. Sad.
Beautiful pictures, but these are actually 'Okame' cherry. :)
