happy birthday mom

today i witnessed a man with a shaved-bald head wearing a hairnet.

it did not seem needed.

i'm fairly certain it was required of the law since he was in a bakery (working, he wasn't a patron). it stuck with me for a while. i suppose the reason for that is daylight saving time.

i'd like to go on the record as saying that i oppose daylight saving. daylight should be lost like so many keys, remotes & common men's dignity.

if history serves me right, i believe it was benjamin franklin who thought this deplorable ritual. although that man did much for his fellow man- bifocals, flexible catheters, the glass harmonica & the studies of refrigeration, electricity and, of course, kite flying- i feel that he could of refrained from ever mentioning daylight saving.

now don't get me wrong, i do enjoy falling back. why wouldn't i? but springing forward is of the devil. if the good people of the world would like to enjoy the sun longer, let them get up earlier. just don't disturb my sleeping habits. also, don't make me late for things, or uncomfortably early. and most of all, don't make me attempt to change my various clocks and watches, especially the watches.

we're told, by the 'experts,' that daylight savings saves electricity. more and more each day, i trust experts less. this brings me back to my first observation. somewhere there is an expert or even experts who decided that hair nets would prevent unwanted hair from infiltrating all types of foods, including pastries and the like. this is true. but they go to far and mandate that all people working in the bakery must wear hairnets. thus this man is forced to wear a hair net over his hairless head. there is no reason that this man should be wearing this thing.

unless of couse he likes the hairnet. which is what i'm saying about daylight saving time.

daylight saving time is just fine. but it shouldn't be forced upon us all, only those with hair in the food preperation business who like to enjoy as much sun as they can while cutting back on their usage of electricity.

why don't we just take off or put on, from the actual time, 30 minutes and leave it alone.
