I was beginning to think that winter was never going to leave, and spring would never arrive! But today IS the first day of spring! Finally! Time to put away the snow shovels, snow blowers, snowmobile, and tune up the lawn mowers and jet ski! I’m looking forward to having some fun in the sun and water this summer! Welcome spring – you were a long time coming this year!
The times they are a changing
Daylight Savings Time begins today. I set the clocks back last night before I went to bed. I really wish that the country would just pick one time and stick to it! This business about “Spring Ahead and Fall Back” is just really hard for my poor body to adapt to! I really don’t like the changing back and forth at all! And I’ve heard that recent research suggests that even though the reason for doing the changing is to save energy costs, which have not happened. The energy costs in the summer have actually increased due to Daylight Savings time, not decreased.
Now that’s gas mileage!
I heard on the radio this morning that Volkswagen is planning to release at the end of 2010 a two-seater car that gets 234 mpg! I tried googling it on the Internet, but can’t find any information on it at all, which is discouraging because I love to look up stuff like that! Anyway, according to what I heard on the radio, it is an extra small car, the two seats are lined up one behind the other to improve the air dynamics. I’d love more information on that! I wonder how much trunk room there is for groceries!?????
