For me, it's Rizzoli and Isles and old reruns of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.  Interestingly both shows tonight were Halloween-themed.  First, two men are heinously gunned down right in the open on a Boston street, and the sole witness able to identify the shooter is a ... werewolf?  Then, Johnny interviews author Gore Vidal and, noticing voter apathy and low turnout numbers, speculates as to whether the jack- o'-lantern on his desk would make a better President.  This episode was taped just before the 1980 election.  I guess things haven't changed that much in four decades.

My old-man's television diet was furnished by Pluto TV.    Hair by Rena.   Gowns by Bob Mackie.

My computers' clocks all set themselves back automatically.  Though the one on the oven has to be reset manually.

...Hey, why does the new hour kick in so late, anyhow?  You can't have any fun at two a.m. I say Daylight Saving's should start at nine. Hey, it's early; you got an extra hour to find a party somewhere or hit the local bar.  You're welcome.

I really wish we'd just stick to one standard and stick with it. Daylight savings time or not. Just choose one. Let's not keep having to switch.

George Bush The Younger drew a lot of criticism for moving Daylights Savings Time up several weeks because of a small recession that occurred late in his administration and a need to save dwindling fuel reserves--the dirty little secret being that it was the left who were dragging their feet on oil-drilling, citing the sanctity of the protected fields in ANWAR.  Gas prices were up to a whopping $1.50/gal, and there were shortages at the pump. People were freaking out--reports came in of at least a dozen filling stations in the Memphis area adding water to their storage tanks to stretch the fuel further (yes, you can do this, but it's a pretty cheap dodge--a car will run comfortably enough for a while with watered-down fuel, but a hedge-trimmer will sputter or stall on an amount as small as a gob of spit in the tank.)  Bush took the blame for something that wasn't his fault, and his post 9-11 poll numbers took a huge hit.  Flash forward twenty years, with Biden/Harris in office, gas up to five and even six dollars per, and the Democrats shrugging their shoulders and saying "Problem? We see no problem here" as they propped up the wrinkled, flatulent old mummy in his executive chair and gave him his nightly tapioca.  They are very dangerous, disingenuous people.

I wasn't aware that Daylight Savings time was moved up.

Oh, yes...the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  It was referenced to in, of all places, a My Name Is Earl episode in which Patty the Daytiime Hooker complained that ever since Bush "monkeyed" with the clocks, to make ends meet she had to take a job as a waitress.

We need to end the practice. It isn't needed anymore.

They're working on it, but can't agree how to go about it or what standard to use.  Actually, the history of DST is very interesting--there was no definitive measure in place until 1966, and most of the Presidents who have signed legislation on it it have been notable Democrats: Wilson, F.D.R., L.B.J.,  In another fuel consumption-cutting measure, they tried doing it year-round from '74 to '75--this proved a fiasco.  I think we should exercise caution and shouldn't make any big sweeping plans either way until the Straits of Hormuz situation is settled... we're not a hundred percent certain that Ahab the Arab isn't going to put the scimitar to our throats and cut our oil supply sometime after today's big midterms are wrapped up.
