   It may take a week of Sundays to get past this arc.

   I did, 9 days ago.

   Of course the amount of times I correctly predict an outcome is so spotty that I need to take credit for the occasional hit.

   5 years ago (I think it was last March) when I still took a bus to work I repeatedly experienced this scenario: While standing at the Bus stop the same car would pull up to the middle of the stop. The male would be driving (not surprised are we?) the female as passenger would be SURPRISED on the arrival. She would then START to pickup and organize her “Stuff” before she got out of the car and go into her workplace. All this time Buses would backup waiting to get into the bus stop, this happened everyday!

   I remember the relatively short fad of beer can collecting. If you cashed in early a few made a buck but mostly resulted in a lot of clutter until the realization nothing in the pile was going to be the new Ty Cobb baseball card.

   Never saw a collection show up on Antiques Roadshow.

   Without the benefit of spoilers I will look forward to a third candidate winning and uniting Walt and Avery in their disappointment.

   It was a kick not a pass, therefor it is a live ball and can be advanced by either offense or defense. Except in the Pros the only stoppage would be if the player recovering the loose ball would be considered down if knee or forearm touches the ground ( no opposing player contact required ).

   Nice article, I did notice that the time shift originated in the northern latitudes. If you do not think Europe is not north look at a map. The USA is too far south to have been caught up in this time shift. Just go standard time or everyone shift to DST.

    Farmers complained about it from the beginning. When you work from sunrise to sunset the clock has no relevance.
