[FRIAM] Obligatory (and gratuitous?) screed about time changes.

[Gillian Densmore]

how in the f*** do we ...nevermind. I was looking forward to no more clock
nonsense. and sick and tired of how incompetent the government is. just
pass the gd bill it hurts no one and helps everyone. I guess I'll be moving
to Arizona, they got at least that much right.
God I despise the goverment.
