The Evansville Courier Press had an editorial a couple of days ago in which they were kind enough to mention this site as drawing their attention to the New York Times op/ed by Matthew Kotchen and Laura Grant about Daylight Saving Time. (And this wasn’t the first time they’ve extended such a courtesy, apparently.)
It would have been easy enough for the editorial writers to simply comment on the op/ed without mentioning this site. It’s not as if I’m the only reader of the New York Times. So, the mention was awfully considerate, and I just wanted to extend my gratitude.
Incidentally, the editorial expressed little interest in monkeying with Daylight Saving Time further, even if observing DST actually used a bit more energy, because of fatigue associated with fighting over the issue. I’m too tired to argue with them at the moment.
Our energy knew no bounds, of course, before the issue passed. Maybe DST has sapped our energy.
I’d like to thank you as well. Your blog is an outstanding source for frank discussions of IN politics and government, both current and past.
