Yesterday it took me 1:20 to get to the theater. Today I left 40 minutes early and it took me 18 minutes.

Minnesota has passed a law that would "lock the clock" on Daylight Savings, so we would join Arizona in not changing our clocks. Apparently it must now be approved by Congress in Washington D.C.

Also, MN Department of Transportation has an annual contest to name new snowplows.

Last year, winners were "Darth Blader" and "Plowy McPlowFace."

On the ballot this year are "Betty Whiteout" and "The Big Leplowski."

“This was what war did! It emptied towns of their inhabitants as it emptied veins of their blood; it killed houses and lands as well as men. Out there, a few miles beyond the sunny vineyards and the low hills, men were dying at that very moment by hundreds, by thousands—and their motionless young bodies must have the same unnatural look as these wan ruins, these gutted houses and sterile fields.... War meant Death, Death, Death—Death everywhere and to everything.”

Wednesday evening greetings!  I had a routine midday appointment with my cardiologist, then spent the afternoon doing this and that for 2 of my 3 women’s organizations.

If I remember correctly, Washington state also passed a similar law.  I completely agree with it.

Jeanne, the library had the book you mentioned under the title Safe Passage. A reservation has been placed.

My library only has it as The Bravest Voices.

It’s in the upper 70s now. We may have sleet tomorrow.

You get very interesting winter weather there.

Approval is only needed in order to stay on Daylight Saving Time, not stay on regular times as they do in Arizona & Hawaii.  Locking the clock on Daylight Saving time would mean you will switch in the spring and never change back.

California, Oregon, & Washington voted to lock the clock and have yet to receive Congressional approval.

I googles and found that a total of 19 states want to stay on Daylight Saving time all year round.
