    Well, I suppose I might have found a couple of them while taking a dump...

    That might be okay, although I've read several reports on health experts saying that their studies point to various health detriments from Daylight Savings Time. Regardless, the way it works now, I never feel more rested when we gain an hour in November, but always feel less rested when we lose one this month.

    I think it's the switching twice a year. And doing so within four months of each other. Just move it ahead and be done would help solve that.

    It’s one hour. Yeah, it sucks - for a day, maybe two. People really hate change.

    Pick a thread, people. You don't need to post EVERY Coronavirus note on EVERY thread. The MLB announcement doesn't need to be on the NBA thread and the NHL, soccer, Trump, democrat candidates, etc. And the Coronavirus thread.

    Facebook makes it too easy to share stuff from other places.

    I wish there was an option for a feed to be original content only. I literally care only about your life and your pictures.

    Parking downtown on a weeknight, meters are in use until 11 p.m. I got there about 5:30, put in enough bread for the four-hour max, get back to the car a little before 10:30. Ticket. Yes, the meter was expired -- SCOFFLAW! -- but do they really have to police the darn things that late? I was out supporting local businesses, dammit.

    Since we haven't been here for awhile ...

    Garage sale shoppers. There has been an estate sale across the street from me for two days and watching it out my front window as I work from home is amusing and infuriating. Besides the fact people were lined up for 30 minutes before it opened both days, these morons can't drive. They park all over the place, blocking mine and other neighbors' driveways, double parking and just stopping in the middle of the damn street. I had to be a traffic cop just so my wife could back out of the driveway yesterday.

    You'd think they were giving away gold, or Geritol based on the age of most shoppers, based on the swarm.

    I am so irked. My website has been reported for hate speech because of the name. Two essays I've written asking people use a slightly less broad brush: also reported. The rednecks hate me. The East Nashvillians hate me. Weebly kept logging me off and deleting my writing. Getting banned by the Predators FO was a badge of honor. This? My slapping hand itches. I'm just...irked.

    My tantrum about it:

    Look, you mouth-breathing, booger-eating, birkenstock-wearing, understimulated White people: Being Southern does not = being racist. Being racist = being racist. This is why I loathe that special kind of East Nashville SJW who is actually terrified of Black people. Kiss my grits.
