3:38 PM

It is getting...dark.

I do not care that I'm old enough a codger to be familiar with daylight savings time almost since the day Benjamin Franklin invented it, I am still thrown for a creepy loop when dusk begins creeping in while soap operas are still on.

Here it comes. I can see it. A big, slow, toothless panther with all kinds of psychological problems. Here comes the night, oozing in over the day, the big bucket that holds it, way up there in the sky, leaking an hour sooner now.

I see you coming. You don't fool me. You big ol' panther. I like ya. Yeah, that's right. Creep on in, you, and let me rub yer belly at 4 PM.
