Time for a Cool Change.....
Music plays an important part in my life.....it always has and it always will. While I love country music now, I also remember a lot of the music I listened to in the 1970s. YIKES...guess that dates me, but....oh well....
One of my favorite groups from that time in college was Little River Band. They had a song entitled Cool Change...and one of the lines is:
Time for a cool change...
I know that it's time for a cool change....
I just returned from a 950-mile round trip to Sioux Falls, SD to show a couple dogs. It was a nice time; the weather was a gorgeous 65-70ish....and that's awesome. But...we had to set the clocks back....as Daylight Savings Time ended.
I often think that we should just LEAVE the clocks alone.....either do Daylight Savings Time all year long, or be like parts of Michigan and Arizona that stay on Standard Time all year long. Perhaps as I age, the idea of the changing the clocks just creates havoc with my Circadian rhythms and I find it takes a good two weeks to adjust. I think it's manmade jet lag.....
Also, on the the topic of a cool change...as we all know, it's time for political elections in many venues. The State of Wisconsin is embroiled in a gubernatorial election as well as some other hotly contested Congressional seats (House and Senate). When I arrived home tonight and turned on the boob tube (a/k/a mudslinging tube lately), I was VERY pleased to have seen that the state Republicans pulled out their "big" gun in former Governor and former Health & Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, speaking positively in favor of Congressman Mark Green who is running for Governor.
Personally, I'm ready for a change. I hope that the rest of the State of Wisconsin is too. I have a personal reason why I'm ready.....as do many of my fellow state employees who found their jobs cut by the current gov.
Time for a change? You betcha.
