Day Light Savings Time, the Election and Halloween Candy

Random thoughts...

It's the last day before we move our clocks back one hour - meaning that tomorrow it gets dark at 5 PM... yuck! We also get to look forward to the sun spilling through our bedroom windows at 6 AM. This all matters because I am sitting in the house during the longest "day" until March - and it's 65 degrees outside and sunny!

Doesn't it seem like the kids get less and less chocolate candy each year at Halloween? When parents buy candy they need to remember who ends up eating most of it after the kids go to bed Halloween night and what it is that we really want to eat and buy accordingly!! By the way - I really need to rememeber to buy stock in Tootsie Rolls next October!!!

Anyone else out there tempted at voting 3rd party this year?

It's not a good sign when you spend the last days of your campaign stomping in states that historically vote for your party. It's a disaster when your opponent has enough confidence to throw a couple million into campaign advertising in your home state!!

Everyone is ready for the election to be over... but has anyone else received phone calls from politicians... hung up and when you pick up the phone they are still talking??? How do they get away with that one?

Facebook is addicting...

At one my previous jobs my boss - who was my age - was a big time Christmas Scrooge. He would sit in his office and listen to hard rock music on the internet. Every November 1st I would sneak into his office and put in a "favorite Christmas hits" CD I kept at my desk. His reaction the first year was so awesomely classic - he couldn't figure out where that Christmas music was coming from!! He would be cussing and spitting up a storm and finally come out of his office and say "OK - whose the wise A$$ who put Christmas music on my computer???!!!" Oh... those were the days!

It's time to get AM Static fired back up...

Here's my proposal- since you are a liberal and I am a conservative lets both vote 3rd party and cancel each other out.

And I much prefer to celebrate Jewish Halloween, the say after when candy is on clearance...

I have been tempted to vote for the constitutional party this year but will probably end up pulling the lever for McCain. He spent way too much time attacking BO and not enough time talking policy in my opinion...
