The US Senate voted unanimously to end it, then the House never bothered to take it up.
I guess it will be dark before 5PM tomorrow.

Yeah, I do vaguely.
My province has voted to get rid of it. The problem now is that we are waiting on Washington state, Oregon and California along with DC to get their acts together so we can do it.
Nobody wants it anymore it is outdated.
I always need a reminder about it or I will forget. Stupid pain in the backside.
Yeah. I posted that it was the first time that the US government did anything that we can all agree on, but it looks like they screwed that up like they always screw everything up.
Your province should just go ahead and do it. This is just one of a million examples of how US has too much indirect control over the ebb and flow of the world. It's like when I argue with people here about how WE caused the world to be stuck in such a high inflationary recession right now with the policies that WE enacted. WE did that. But the other countries themselves are also to blame because where the US lead they all followed.
I don't mind forgetting about it. There have been times I've gone weeks without even realizing the clocks should have been changed.
What I hate is the darkness before 5PM. The days are already short enough as it is.
:(

That was a while ago now.
Oh, how I wish Victoria(provincial capitol) would.
Well, for appointments is about the only time I really pay attention to clocks. As a rule I hate them. I don't even wear a watch.
I hear ya about the dark getting earlier. I think I put the kitchen light on around 4pm. Yuck!

I got up to do something and came back to my chair, looked out the balcony window and it was snowing. Still is. Looks like it could be sticking. Have to see what happens tomorrow as far as the weather goes.

I know. The snow didn't last long as it turned to rain, so its gone.

Time to get up and do a couple of things before supper then I can watch the start of the Christmas baking shows.

Out for my walk in a bit. Got a birthday card to send to Alberta and a couple of other things to do in the dry. Not sure how cold it is out.

I finished spackling everything in the porch. It's COLD outside.
Right now I'm going a little caulk crazy on my bamboo entryway table. I probably won't get around to putting any paint on it today while I'm waiting for it all to dry. Even though it's cold out, my furnace isn't going to be turning on today and drying up the air since I've got it set so low.
Tomorrow is a little warmer. I'll (hopefully) sand off all the spackle and caulk everything that needs caulking and then (hopefully) put the final coat of paint on all the trim on wednesday when it's 60+ outside.
I'm kind of regretting planning on having my dad come over on Thursday. Now I'm seeing the high for Thursday is 71 degrees and from there it plummets. Saturday is supposed to only be 35 degrees. Gross.

Oh... and I'm pretty sure I just got my neighbor to vote tomorrow when he probably wasn't. I called and asked him if he was busy and if he could give me a ride up to the polling station tomorrow and he said yeah and that he'd vote too.
I would have walked if I had to, but it will be nice getting the ride.
Called the mechanic and he's got a few calls out to see if he can find the plastic part or if he can find somebody to fabricate what he'd need to get the fuel line fixed. So no ballpark figure on the price of the job yet.
Too bad I don't have a good 3D printer. I probably could have already found the specs and made my own part by now.

Er, cold air prolly inhibits caulk and paint drying. You might need to wait for that warmer weather tomorrow to get it to dryness.
Dress warm, SIX!

Over here we're definitely starting winter early. The weather regime for the past few weeks has been cool. Either bright and sunny or cloudy and damp, but cooler than normal. We had an unexpected 1/2" of rain a little over a week ago and are expecting another 1" between today and tomorrow, so I prepped the yard for rain: brought in the tools, covered the 33 gal trash bins, put down the diverters and set out my "rain gage".
It was damp this AM, I think it must have drizzled last night
I'm not getting my hopes up for a normal rainfall this winter. Our weather patterns seem to come in multi-week blocks, and this pattern can change any time now.
But given the weather, I'll be doing indoor things for the time being.
