My Day

8:30: My eyes blink awake
9:45: On the road
11:00 Having a cordial discussion with the border guard about the rather unorthodox job description that comes with academia after an inordinately long wait on the Bluewater bridge.
16:50: For a moment I thought I had an original idea to have eggs and bacon for dinner until I realized that I was in fact being reminded of eggs by way of the air around Gary, Indiana.
16:05: Pull into my driveway. Yes, Indiana and Illinois are in the same time zone, but Indiana doesn't observe daylight savings time. Normally that sort of state-wide obstinacy would be something I'd make fun of, but I actually think DST is a stupid idea.
17:45: make bacon and eggs. Point my browser to Hulu.
21:15: I am now caught up on Glee. Don't judge me.

I really missed you guys.

Update: my fact checker tells me that Indiana does observe DST. Much of the state is also in the Eastern time zone, though 12 counties, including those in the Northwest corner near Chicago are in the Central time zone.

I am pretty sure that a few years ago Indiana switched to actually use Daylight Savings time, and all of the parts of the state I worked in and flew into (Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Batesville) were actually in the Eastern time zone...
