Long Time
It's been a long time. How long is that? How long is a long time?
If something takes ten minutes to cook in a microwave, that is a long time.
If you cook something in an oven for four to six hours, that is a long time.
If you are waiting for a flight arrival and it is two hours late that is a long time. If it is six hours late, that is a long time too.
If you boot Windows XP and it takes five minutes to load, that is a long time.
If you click on a web page and it takes thirty seconds to open, that is a long time.
So help me out here, how long is a long time?

Spring Ahead
Wink: Airplanes - Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of take offs you've made.
Time change comes early - tonight! Spring Ahead, well maybe. I think it will be drag ahead and peak out from under the covers in the morning.
Then check to see if the patches on the computers worked. Why is everything built with a clock in it today? There must be thirty clocks around this house, not to mention one in the SUV.
Every time the time changes I always miss one. Try as I may, there is always that one somewhere struggling to catch up with the hands of others. Last year it was the programmable thermostat. The year before, the one in the vehicle.
I can't say the extra daylight at the end of the day this time of year is going to make much difference. The amount of power saved is minimal in this household. Even though I don't have to get up early in the mornings, I spring(?) to life about 0630 - 0700.
That means I will have to turn the light on in the mornng to perk that first cup of waker upper. No saving there, because before, the sunrise was shining right on the counter where the grounds will splash all over the countertop tomorrow . . .
