I am surrounded by windows. I look at downtown LA.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My only objection to shifting daylight savings time ahead a month is that if DST is in effect eight months out of the year, it seems dopey in the extreme to call the time that's only used half as long "standard" time.
Also, would someone please tell me why I brought leftover Chinese food to work for lunch on a day when I have a meeting for which i would like to look nice at 5 p.m.? I have not dripped yet, but I *know* I will.
I desperately need lunch, but I don't know what I want. What's everyone else having?
I'm thinking of going to have half a club sandwich and a bowl of conch chowder. I'm home sick today, and that's the closest I can get to Mom's remedy of tomato soup and grilled cheese without grocery shopping and then cooking.
I have a tiny window with an a/c unit in it, so I can only see out the top, but I keep the blinds drawn most of the time.
According to www.sunrisesunset.com, If DST starts in March next year, sunrise in New Orleans on the first day will be at 7:22am, that's 20 minutes before I leave for work. The end of November is even worse, with sunrise at 7:34.
Is it more attractive at more Northern latitudes?
I'm downtown but I still have a nice open view of the river, Jersey, tall buildings, a couple parks, and the dome of an architecturally significant building from the turn of the century. Plus the exposure gives great sunlight but doesn't broil the office in the afternoon. I like the view a lot. But I think I'm going to shut myself up in the library for the afternoon.
I think that I will have mac and cheese, possibly some sort of vegetable accompaniment.
Best baseball injury of the early season?
Denver (AP) -- Colorado Rockies outfielder Dustan Mohr was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left calf, an injury that occurred during the team's victory celebration in its season opener. As the players charged to the field to celebrate Clint Barmes' winning two-run homer that led Colorado to a 12-10 comeback victory Monday, Mohr was injured while jumping out of the Rockies' dugout.
I have already had a diet shake, but I think that will count as a snack rather than lunch. I am tempted to go get Popeye's.
