Oh, Yeah . . . . We're Still Countin The Days!
It has been nearly 300 days since Governor Chris Christie told all he knew about Bridgegate and answered questions from all comers, out front, in the open for everyone to see and hear.
Nearly 300 days.
And in all that time (and after countless media stories and an endless Democrat "investigation" that churned the tale every which way) not a single shred of evidence has emerged that directly implicates the Governor - not a speck, not a scintilla of evidence. And yet, the churning (and the groaning and the whining and the carping) goes on and on and on . . . . .
Let's End The Time-Change Madness!
Once again we are "falling back" this year.
That's why you pushed your clock back one hour before you turned in last night (Did you remember?).
And this is why you will turn it ahead again in March (Don't forget!).
This also means you have to reset all of those pesky digital clocks on various devices all over your house. And, though you gained an hour of sleep, you'll lose it again in the spring.
Hey, I love DST and wish we could have it all year round - which makes this ritual even more of a nuisance. Plus, it's been estimated that it costs us $1.7 billion just to change all the clocks!
This is what happens when you let the government mess around with the time.
I have a solution for this twice-a-year time madness: Let's set the clocks behind (or ahead) one-half-hour and leave them there.
It's a permanent compromise.
For example, next March, set the clocks ahead one-half hour and that's it.
Next fall, no change.
That oughta do it, right?

Santa Barbara - A Dreamscape Like No Other!
Our recent visit to Santa Barbara convinced us that it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Yes, we did say in the world!
With the San Ynez mountains on one side and the tranquil Pacific Ocean on the other (buffeted by channel islands) Santa Barbara sits nestled like a saint in heaven.
And its Spanish mission style architecture envelopes you in a dreamy tranquility that makes you want to linger. It's naturally harmonious.
The Courthouse alone is worth your trip to Santa Barbara -- and the Old Mission itself is a place you will never forget.
The Wharf. Nearby Montecito. The oceanside. The pier. State St. The Four Seasons Biltmore. The Reagan Ranch Center. The Zoo. The Botanic Gardens. You will love Santa Barbara!
