Daylight Losing Time

That's what I call it here in Brazil because it's quite the opposite of saving daylight. Here's a little background for you. Daylight savings time was brought around during one of the World Wars, I don't remember which, to help increase productivity and decrease electricity costs by giving people more hours during the day that the sun was up so they could continue to work and keep lights turned off. But instead of moving the clock forward tonight, it moved back an hour. So the days here are shorter now. And it's not even the same friggin' day the US does it. Brazil is on their own program, that's for sure.

This means I get the luxury of standing an extra hour of duty tonight too! Yay for me! Well I have a lot to do tonight after I get done farting around on here so it's not so bad. Should go by quickly. I drank a two liter of Coke earlier tonight and I have enough money on standby to get two Cokes from the vending machine.

Last Friday we ran to the embassy from our house for the first time since I've been here. It was around 5 miles or 8 kilometers...my legs still haven't forgiven me yet. I have to get out there and run more often. And this coming week is going to be a very busy one. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to put up and tell you a little bit about what's going on. That's it for now, get out of here.
