Today on November the 2 rd the temp came up to 28. We are leaving for Florida tomorrow and I feel cheated as it should be snowing or miserable but not beautiful. I should stay and enjoy this gift from our Indian Breathern who in their wisdom and need for some good weather declared that every year we should have Indian Summer. One week of sunny, warm days to give us something to think of when it turns to snow and 30 below.
All of a sudden the place is swarming with hornets, wasps and other flying creatures which make it impossible to enjoy a drink on the balcony. There is a strange change in our weather patterns lately as we just witnessed the windiest week in my memory and now this.We better get used to the unusual because that is the way it will be from now on, tricky.

Daylight Saving Time
I do not see the reason behind this tradition anymore. It seems to me that there once was a reason when energy was at a premium and the clock change was supposed to help with the cost of energy. Today it just seems to be part of Halloween. What ever the reason it has little affect on we older folks who do not keep or worry about the time except when it is our medication times or doctor appointments.
November 1 also causes a rumbling in the minds of we seniors and like the birds feel it is time to go south to avoid the cold weather.People in Florida brace themselves for the influx of Northerners and make all kinds of ignorant references to the problems we cause. They do not complain about the money we spend and the jobs we create. There seems to be a quiet truce lately as the population of about twenty million becomes home to nearly three million snow birds for six months. We are the prime mover in the economic health of Florida and other sun belt states.
Getting back to daylight saving time. I got up at my regular time but did not change the clock so I had an extra hour of daylight. Everything was quiet in our neighbourhood for an extra hour and that was a bonus. Guess I will need a nap this afternoon to catch up with the new time
