Daylight Savings Time began at 2 am this morning.
The practice of advancing clocks an hour from standard time during the summer months then reverting back in the autumn is supposedly a better use of natural daylight.
There are two states in the nation which opt out. Both are democrat shitholes.
I personally feel that there should be no 'opt out' option.
Moron states which do not wish to be in sync with the country should be kicked out and their elected officials all executed.
They say that the idea of saving daylight hours originated with Benjamin Franklin. Of course, he lacked today's modern ammentities in indoor lighting and such.
One William Willet was the original proponent who spent much of his own funds promoting the idea to the ridicule of many of his contemporaries.
Whether you dislike Daylight Savings Time or love it the bulk of the nation does this and you should get with the program ... Arizona and Hawaii.
Alas, I really don't really care one way or another. I just feel that there should be no "opt out" of this thing, i.e., it should be all or nothing.
I feel that the notion of "saving daylight" is somewhat passe in this twenty first century age and time.
So if you haven't already, "Spring forward".

- International Fanny Pack Day 2025
-
One year I splurged at Hammacher Schlemmer for leather fanny packs for a number of the children.
They embraced them and used them all the time for a number of years.
These packs were neither cheap nor poorly manufactured and they provided excellent carry on for the younguns in my charge.
Today is International Fanny Pack Day.
It happens each second Saturday in March annually. These fanny pack thingies go by a number of names but the usefulness was not lost on the chilren to whom I gave them.
Toting things around that you do not wish to get lost is what it's all about. I hope you'll take a moment to consider those items you wish to be on your person more than not.
You too can get a well designed fanny pack and streamline all that you carry around with you.
Happy International Fanny Pack Day.

- Sock Monkey Day 2025
-
When I was a kid in rural South Carolina sock monkeys were all over the place.
It seemed that every female of the species made several and they would place them strategically on furniture and shelves for all to see.
I was amazed at the consistency of these creations and just how many were lying around to adorn the countrified niggerosity of rural aiken county and everyone named Poole.
Today is Sock Monkey Day.
It goes down each March 7 and the folk art is alive and well here in the land of the insipid inbred Southerner.
They are said to originate from the Victorian era but you can't prove that by me.
Never did I ever want a sock monkey of my own.
I never was given one, either.
I keep thinking the anatomically correct sock monkies might start breeding among themselves thereby procreating ...
Happy Sock Monkey Day to you.

- National Dress Day 2025
-
Few things strike me as prettier than a young lady wearing a dress.
In these days of slacks and shorts I am attracted to the more formal in casual attire.
I like a dress with colorful accents accessorized to a tee and those which make statements regarding the wearer.
Today is National Dress Day.
It is observed each March 6 in celebration of the dress under the auspices of one Ashley Lauren who is a fashion designer.
I can see a lady in casual attire and think one thing.
Then I can see the same lady decked out in a pretty frock or something else in a dressy dress and think other things.
My need to be around that which I think is beauty is my only motivating factor.
Toward that end, I have no need for tomboys, lesbians, nor transsexuals of any kind.
They simply remain unattractive and unappealing.
While I fully support any lady's right to wear slacks, shorts, and whatnot — I think the dress is magic attire designed to bring out the lady in all women.
Happy National Dress Day to you.

- Reel Film Day 2025
-
You never know how much you're loved until you lose those who really care about you. Such is that tough lesson I had to learn regarding my daddy, my stepfather, and now my beloved mother is the center of my attentions.
When my dearly loved mother departs this earthly existence I will no longer have any viable reason to continue. My life will as it were — have run it's course and there will be no need for me to continue down this "plan b" path I chose for myself long ago.
The drama which is implied by all of this is quite a suitable segue to Reel Film Day.
Reel Film Day happens each March 5 and celebrates film in all it's glory. It is a day for showcased events all over and is particularly poignant in my memory because of the Christmas I was given an 8 mm projector and camera and set loose upon the world with my compadre, the late Chris Gagnon back in Key West, Florida of the waning 1960s.
Together we remade as many horror flicks as we could passing from the 8 mm format to Super 8 of course.
Ah, my mama and daddy loved me so much as to bestow such an incredible gift upon a child like me as they did.
So on this Reel Film Day I hope you'll take a moment and celebrate the time when movies were not digital creations, but existed only on reels of film stored in celluloid lockers everywhere.
Happy Reel Film Day and I hope you wax nostalgic !

- National Pound Cake Day 2025
-
Pound cake has been a frequent accompaniment to my morning coffee over the years.
Time was we would have home made pound cake.
Now the elderly factor has crept into our existence and it's either buy it from the grocery store or do without.
Today is National Pound Cake Day.
It is held annually on March 4 to celebrate the pound cake and perhaps try their hand at baking them.
Pound cakes refer to the type of cake traditionally made with one pound each of four ingredients: butter, eggs, flour, and sugar.
Since the standard recipe for pound cake typically exceeds the requirements of most family meals the day encourages you to celebrate, bake them, eat them, and pass them around.
I pretty much can go for a piece of pound cake anytime. Particularly with a glass of milk or cup of coffee.
Happy National Pound Cake Day to you.

- Navy Reserve Birthday 2025
-
I was in the Navy Reserve.
I didn't really "choose" it. It chose me. Nonetheless, "The Navy" is, of course, "The Navy" and I was repeatedly told that they did not differentiate between "reserve" or otherwise. The only real distinction is "active duty" or not.
My recruiter placed me there under his authority and the bottom line was I was in the Reserve and that was that.
I would soon find out that it was all one Navy and the "reserve" designation really didn't mean a lot outside of the service contract parameters.
Today is the Naval Reserve Birthday.
It is celebrated annually on March 3 to commemorate the establishment of the United States Navy Reserve.
The last time I celebrated Navy birthdays I was aboard the USS MacDonough (DDG-39) with then FTC Wayne Mead ... who was Navy to the core. He was a true friend and passed recently and I continue grieving.
On Congress passed legislation to establish the Federal Navy Reserve on March 3, 1915. It was renamed the US Naval Reserve Force on April 6, 1917. The Naval Reserve Force was renamed to Navy Reserve in 2005.
Happy Birthday Navy Reserve.

- National Old Stuff Day 2025
-
I remember going through the old storage building at Grandma's and "plundering". In retrospect I wish I had never indulged. It would have been far better to leave her stuff to her and not bother it.
She never got angry with me about it — but I have had regrets since those days. Particularly since her death and those various things left unsaid left to taunt me in my old age.
Today is National Old Stuff Day.
It is observed on March 2 as a day for the cleaning out of closets and garages. It is also a time to rediscover old things you may have forgotten and to generally declutter your existence.
I think the accumulation of things over time calls for a little organization.
I used to frequent thrift stores until I began watching Paranormal Caught on Camera whereas I became afraid of items to which there could be some paranormal attachment which might make me regret the purchase.
Suffice it to say that I don't indulge thrift stores anymore.
Anyway, regardless of whether you do or don't today is a day for your old stuff to come to the fore and be dealt with one way or another.
Good luck with the sorting and decisions on whether to keep or dispose ...
It's your call and I certainly wouldn't deprive you of that ecstatic pleasure.

- International Ideas Month 2025
-
The theme of International Ideas Month is the potential of ideas. I have always been one to sit around an think things over. I also find myself short on ideas from time to time. I find that having a specific problem helps, like writing an algorithm to effect some programmatic operation ... but that too wains in my old age.
I think it's a function of one too many checks coming each month without having to get up and go to work.
Albert Einstein is my personal hero. This is due not only to his vast scientific accomplishments but those things between the lines that I gleaned from his writings. While his purview is not gadgets nor devices he certainly gave input regarding the background of how the universe works and Oppenheimer likely is forever in his debt.
Small ideas can lead to large discoveries. International Ideas Month is that catalyst which places it all at your disposal for use in that which you do.
Happy International Ideas Month and I hope your next idea is a Nobel prize winner.

- Gilbert Gottfried RIP 2025
-
Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried was born February 28, 1955 and passed April 12, 2022.
He was an American stand-up comedian and actor.
He was best known for his shrill tone, marked New York accent, that squint of his, and his oh so edgy, often controversial, sense of humor ...
Something I personally enjoyed to no end.
I used to watch his appearances on Hollywood Squares and most importantly I miss that spontaneity all too much of the world is lacking because they can neither think on their feet nor posess a sense of humor.
He did a lot of work in film and portrayed the Aflac duck until the pussies in charge of the company replaced him because they are stupid woke pieces of shit.
It was a sad day for me when Gilbert Goddfried died and I can only think of a million others I would have rather seen go instead.
Rest in peace and I will never forget you. Only the good die young.

- Retro Day 2025
-
I never have been much into retro anything.
I am a thoroughly modern man with modern tastes and state of the art implementations I maintain in my server cluster such that I am a fan of redundancy and servers with failover above all else these days.
The retrospect of the past has been reviewed over the years in books or experience and the way things were interests me less as time progresses.
Today is Retro Day.
It is celebrated each February 27 since 2018 under the auspices of Hermelinda Aguilar, Robert Duran, and Tina Duran.
My primary interest in it is it marks the rapidly approaching end of negro history month and that stupidity the blacks have brought upon us with their incessant whining for reparations they will never get and the fact that the Dutch bought them from black slave traders in Africa then brought them here as slaves.
Then there is the stupid notion taken among the indigineous crackers who naturally thought in error their stupid asses were somehow superior.
In essence, the term itself originated in 1972 to describe new remnants that that refer to particular techniques, modes, motifs, and materials of the past.
Please. You may keep the past. Aside from the memories I have no further designs upon it.
So happy Retro Day to you. Should you enjoy engaging elements of the past for whatever reason I think it's wonderful. The fact that I choose not to is absolutely no reflection on your choice.
It takes different people to comprise a world.

- Black Lives Matter Day 2025
-
Black Lives Matter is a farce. It is the product of three criminal bitches who took the world to the cleaners in the name of racial equity which had absolutely nothing to do with the negro mess.
Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi allegedly began BLM in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Stupid criminal negro bitches to charity to the cleaners over fake claims.
Trayvon Martin was a common cheapshot thug portrayed as an innocent by the blacks who denied that which he really was.
The thug got what he had coming.
George Floyd was a drug addict who died of an overdose but the group likewise pinned that on whitey.
There's going to be a day of reckoning over the lying black people of the world. Those who misrepresent their criminal elements in the name of taking charity to the cleaners.
Black lives don't matter any more than those of anyone else.
Getting over on charity. That is the name of BLMs game so they can add to their collection of multimillion dollar real estate in the name of subterfuge.

- Quiet Day 2025
-
When I was in high school I would sometimes get in trouble for not being quiet at appropriate times. I was thrown out of the library a couple of times and called down in several classes.
Nowadays I typically err on the quiet side, i.e., I am much more likely to refrain from commentary or interaction of any kind primarily due to that contempt I have cultivated for that stupidity exhibited by my fellow man over the years.
I try to keep it all under control, however and I am exceedingly aware of my public comportment and strive to be socially acceptable in all situations.
Today is Quiet Day.
It happens each February 25.
The day is about taking a pause and appreciating the sound of silence.
Diminished noise can be a blessing under the appropriate circumstances.
My main need for quiet involves collecting my thoughts or making preparations for some presentation ...
Or even just getting more centered during my day.
It's something I feel everyone should pursue as it fits your lifestyle.
Happy Quiet Day to you.

Bought a new 2024 F150 Crew Cab.
Black interior. Black exterior.
Bells and whistles out the yinyang.
Perhaps a little much on the connectivity.
I'm really not one for google anything.
All kinds of passenger room.
It is a fun large quiet ride.
They didn't give me as much as I wanted for my trade but I did push for an extra 500 that I did get.
Didn't want you to see me out there wondering what happened.
