I think Daylight Savings Time is one of the most annoying things 
on the face of the planet. It doesn’t save anything. It certainly doesn’t save daylight. It just moves it around. And Congress claiming their expansion of DST is to save electricity by extending the afternoon/evening daylight? Guess what, that’s the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard!!! It’s certainly never saved any electricity at our house! Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that now don’t deal with this foolishness. And I wish I lived in one place or the other so I didn’t have to deal with it either!
Ahem. Anyway. I’ve been listening to podcasts this morning about the Law of Attraction. I know a lot of people who swear by this so I’ve decided to give it a whirl. If I can figure out what the heck I’m doing. 
Spent most of the day yesterday working on family history. Found a bunch of duplicates which I merged together. Also deleted a bunch of people who didn’t connect to my lines. Not sure how they even ended up in my database. Unless I’d deleted the connection earlier after determining they weren’t really related to me after all. I’ll be doing more of the same this afternoon/evening.
Unbelievably, Rachel Alexandra got beat yesterday in her race. Not by much, granted, and she hasn’t run in weeks, so maybe it’s not too surprising. Last night I finally watched the first episode of the Brit show Survivors. Wow. Intense. The basic premise is a super virus spreads around the world and kills off more than 90% of the world’s population. Now the survivors have to learn how to, um, survive without modern conveniences like electricity, cell phones, running water, etc.
Reading: I’m still reading Serpent by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos. Should finally get that finished tonight.
Normally DST doesn’t bother me, but I swear the older I get the more it bugs me-the lack of sleep mostly. That hour of sleep was needed! *G*
I’d heard of that show, but not seen it. So basically it’s taking the technology generation and whittling it down and then they’re to live as our forefathers? Gotcha.
I hope you’re having a pleasing day!

Interestingly, the guy who trained the horse who beat Rachel is also the trainer of Zenyatta. Rachel has been withdrawn from the Apple Blossom.
I thought she was laboring a bit in that race, and I don’t get it–what was she doing in the off season? Zenyatta stayed in light training, even when they were thinking about retiring her to the breeding shed. Rachel was always supposed to have a four-year-old season. She should have been in better shape for that race. (All, of course, imho.)
But hey. Zenyatta rules! Force of Nature ahoy!
