Just about everyone we've talked to today has a Halloween Hangover. Some are because of alcohol, but most of the hangovers we've encountered are due to too much sugar coupled with Congress' stupidity which resulted in Halloween starting an hour late this year. In case you didn't notice, we were supposed to have Daylight Savings Time a week before Halloween.
It's fall, so this is the one where you get to sleep an hour later -- our favorite day of the year. But Congress, spouting some inanity about saving power, moved Daylight Savings Time a week later. That means in the Central Time Zone that sunset began around 6:30 or so and it didn't get dark until 7:00 p.m.
Since trick or treating doesn't start until sundown, everyone with small children stayed up an hour later last night. How is that going to save power? If it's darker in the morning, people will just use more lights in the morning instead of the evening. We think it was all a plot to mess with Halloween. That's it. It's the War on Halloween!
Pictured is one of the jack-o-lanterns we carved yesterday -- we know just how he feels.
