What If The Only Reason We Still Have Daylight Saving Time Is To Give Us Something Pointless To Complain About Twice A Year When It Switches?
What if the only reason we still have daylight saving time is to give us something pointless to complain about twice a year when it switches?
Look, I’m doing it right now!

Your Zen Moment Of My Brain’s Randomness
A moment ago, my brain decided to search for two random words together to see what I got. Those words were “Simpsons” and “potato.”
I present you the results as your moment of zen.

I Finally Get To Read Something Else
I finally get to read something else! A while back, I decided to read the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I decided to read it straight through, from book one to book ten. I enjoyed it, but each volume is around 300,000 words on average. 9/18-10/28, forty days, this is all I’ve been reading in my spare time. I finally get to come up for air.
Even as enjoyable as it was, that was still a march.

On National Candy Corn Day It Doesn’t Matter If You Hate It Or Not
Today is national candy corn day and, as such, just like every other day, it doesn’t matter if you hate it or not.

People who don’t hate it still get to have it if they want, regardless of your opinion.

I Found Where That Spam Comment Got That Text
I was going to delete a spam comment when the oddness of the text surprised me. All it said was:
11 to 100 miles on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
The link it was posted with was some scammy thing related to picking a dentist, but I found where they grabbed the actual text from. Some Maryland Cycling Events page, unrelated to my post or their link:
Friday
May 24 –
Monday
May 27
Kent County Spring Fling Chestertown, MD.
11 to 100 miles on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Cycle along flat to rolling, lightly traveled roads, by rural hamlets and along scenic rivers. Both riders and non-riders can also enjoy historic Chestertown’s annual Tea Party festival – living history, parade, music, food, crafts and boat race.
Presented by BBC (Baltimore Bicycling Club). This 4-day event from Friday to Memorial Day Monday (with an option of 3 days) includes award winning cuisine, dessert and cordial parties, dancing, and great music.
$30 prior to May 1st; $50 May 1st through May 15; no refunds after May 15;
Just struck me as weird.
