I got nuthin...

I's only the 7th of November and I'm already stumped for a blogging topic. Well, that's not entirely true. I've got a topic or two simmering, but after working all day, I just don't have the energy to get it out of me.

However, I do have the energy to write a quick letter to my Congressmen.

Dear Congressperson,

I'm sure that you thought changing the daylight saving dates was a dandy idea. In fact, I've been very pleased with the idea for the most part. I liked waiting a little while longer before being plunged in to complete darkness as soon as I set foot out of work.

However, I wish that you had warned me about the ripple effects of this decision. Mainly, the candy effect.

Oh, don't play dumb like you don't know what I'm talking about! CANDY! Halloween candy! Since it got dark later, kids were begging for candy longer and this caused something quite horrendous to occur. I RAN OUT OF CANDY. Good God, I feel like such a failure! Worse than the little old lady on the street behind us who was giving our leftover Easter candy.

Of course, then the after-after effect of this is that when the clocks did change a few days later, my kids were so hyped up on all the extra candy they scored, that there was no way to get the to bed early.

Thank you for looking out for me in Congress. I know I can count on you to work on important legislation. LIke when we should move our damn clocks. Please think of the children before voting on future "great ideas".

Oh, I forgot to mention that the recently-elected mayor of our fine city lives on the street behind us, so of course we have to go to his house. Hizzoner answered the door and gave out the candy IN HIS BARE FEET. Not the most polished dude. Hopefully he wears shoes to City Hall.
