Fall back! Sleep in...

Setting the frame to pour the concrete slab for the bell-- Stay tuned!

Daylight Savings time ends today - Fall back! Sleep in...
And just for a moment- for a change- instead of bemoaning the early onset of evening, let's just for a wee moment consider the upsides of Standard time-- which are brighter mornings and avoiding many days of a scenario like this where the SUNRISE coincides with getting on the bus for school-
(Although if you lived in Montana and further North- you'd be doing this anyway) 😬

This is my usual plug for remaining with the same time standard all year-- but that standard being Standard Time-- In spite of it's very persuasive name -we know deep down- that Daylight Savings Time doesn't actually increase the daylight. However, it has been cited as increasing profits for business--

Homestretch Halloween

October 31, 2022. Sunset 6:10 PM. Oakland, CA. This may be the last year for trick or treating with the kids not so interested in the strolling candy quest any longer. Though this is an enthusiastic neighborhood where neighbors go all out with decorations, haunting their houses and lawns with sounds and staged fun/scary tableau. Maybe there will be some haunting going on at the house next year. Happy Halloween everyone—
Special thanks to Jennifer and Martha for the accordion and singing while we strolled among the festivities.
