August 22, 2014 Punta Gorda, FL      75 – 95 hot and humid

Are you one of those types of people that watch the clock? Even during the night? When you are turning over and seeing the bedside clock say 1:30. “Oh, good, I have hours to go before I have to wake up”, you say to yourself. We didn’t bring any bedside clocks because we don’t have to set an alarm anymore. Well, maybe in the future, we can use our smart phone for that.

When I turn over expecting to see 1:30, I see “79”.

The number on the AC control panel. That is all. 79 minutes after?!?! I can’t see any light coming into the port holes so I just go back to sleep. Until daybreak, then I get up. What’s time have to do with it anyway??

Speaking of time, this DST is a scam. My phone says it is 5:30am. In AZ the birds are up, chatting away, waiting for their sunflower seed holders to be filled by the humans. They arrive again around 5:30 pm for their evening meal. Daylight on the east coast isn’t until 7am. What?? So, I need to stay up late so I don’t wake up too early? Hogwash!
