It seemed to take an eternity for Daylight Savings Time to end, especially in its final days, when I was going out before the sun was quite up in the mornings. But now we have the opposite problem, which is actually harder, to know when the bus has reached my stop in the dark. Yesterday when I voted after work that also meant walking home from my old elementary school in the dark. I don't think turnout was the highest in my precinct, if only because our area is so blue that in all three contested races the Republicans didn't even bother putting anyone up. Still, I was glad for the results from elsewhere went in our favor. It greatly increases hope for the future.
And it's still another month and a half of the days getting shorter. Though at least once the holidays lights go up they'll help. As far as I'm concerned, my neighbors can be as tacky as they like, and the houses on my bus route even more so; the latter especially helps me.
