That would be a good candidate for this.

Now that my clocks do that automatically (I don't have an actual clock except in my car) I totally forgot

I love daylight savings time, though. Now it'll get dark too early to take my dog to Duke Gardens after work, blargh.

That would be one thing he got right

I know that's the thing people love about daylight savings time. I always tell them...just go to work an hour early

I prefer DST... 5 o clock darkness sucks. I much prefer my morning drive in the dark also...

I love Daylight Savings Time and the switch. I hate getting up in the dark in winter and switching back to standard time delays that a little. Love the long daylight in the evening in the summer and would hate dawn coming at 5am in the summer. I'm a nightowl, so maybe that's why. I really enjoyed my extra hour of sleep this morning.

Two thoughts while driving down Mt Carmel Church/Ferringtin Road from CH to 64/Apex this afternoon

1. Wow the fall colors on the trees are beautiful around here right now

2. Wow Jordan lake is REALLY low.

Argh! I find nothing more aggravating than going to the gas station to fill up the car for the week, only to have no open pumps. Every pump has a car in front of it. No one is in the car, no one is pumping gas. You sit there waiting for five minutes. Ten minutes. Finally, someone comes out of the store, gets into one of the cars, and then sits there for another ten minutes talking on the phone.

Wams rolling around Raleigh yesterday looking at places for rent with my girlfriend. Saw a nicelooking townhouse on Bellaire Ave...ITB sure but still not an ultra desirable or convenient location, called about it today....2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1200sqft....$1600. Wow. That is insane. Are they crazy? I can't believe people are paying that for a 2br townhouse. Our budget is $1500 and I mean we *could* afford that, but why?

Also, anyone have any input on the neighborhood off Lake Wheeler Rd, Fuller Heights? There is a cute house in there for $1100 but the neighborhood is reminiscent if some shady ones in Fayetteville I lived in. Looks older. I don't necessarily mind older and more working class, but obviously don't want to be hearing gunshots and dealing with burglars.
