Luxury of the Fall

[OnyxCougar]

Is this fuel oil stuff like propane? I've had propane, but never "fuel oil".

I almost have my yard cleaned up from Katrina. Soon what leaves that are left will fall.
Then I can start over Oh yes and firewood to be cut, split, & stacked. Crap

I like fall until daylight savings ends around the end of the month. Unlike some of the rest of you, I am now leaving my windows shut more often than open. Fall is a favorite time of year, though. In the Southwest, the air takes on a mysterious incadescent quality to it. The days are often still warm, but the nights are getting cold. The mountains here have just finished their annual spectacular display of Aspens and the high mountains outside my front windows are covered with the first sprinkle of snow. Pretty soon, Pikes Peak will assume its snow whitle mantle that won't come off until sometime around next April. Here's a couple of Aspen shots from my trip a couple of weeks back:

Please explain. I'm itching for standard time so I have a little daylight in the morning instead of dark on both ends of my day.

I tend to be a night owl. I go to sleep around midnight or later and get up around 8:00am, so even with daylight savings, its already light out when I get up. The ending of daylight savings means for ME, one less hour of light in my own day. I am one of those people who are strongly effected by the short days of winter and all that dark, so the end of daylight savings always impacts my mood.

I can see how a lark type or someone who needs to get up early might welcome the switch, though.
