SEASONAL CHANGE

I know it's closing in on November, but here in Central Florida today it finally felt like Autumn.

October felt like Summer as did September, but today was a refreshing change. I'm sure we will get a few more Summer-like days.

Our State legislature had passed the Daylight Savings Bill which is supposed to keep our state on year-round Daylight Savings time but it never did get approved by the Federal government, so for this season we remain with the rest of the country and fall back one hour in November.

I think I'm okay with that since staying on DST would mean a lot of things being disrupted. For instance airline flights would be out of sync with arrivals and departures. Network TV program times would be different. The most important event would be the school age children going to school in the pitch dark. Being closer to the Gulf Coast means sunrise is usually a little later than the East Coast.

That would be downright scary for any youngsters that walk to school or walk a ways to catch their bus, and there are children in that situation.

So we will once again have to turn all the clocks (except for the ones that are smart enough to turn themselves) ahead. So what's the big deal it's not like we haven't done it twice a year forever.

I hope everyone enjoys the change in season no matter where you live. Think pumpkin pie, apple cider, the smell of burning leaves. Oh, I forgot we're not supposed to burn them anymore. Well, have fun raking them anyway.

Don't forget the Harvest Moon will be making an appearance. Always an awesome sight.
