Arizona still doesn't switch?
Right. Because of the cows.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Commercial frosting is made with plain vegetable shortening, and Crisco now sells a non-hydrogenated version. Vegetable shortening is the only way to get a pure white icing for a wedding cake.
Oh, and bulging Buffista groupmind, what's the opposite side of the spine in a book?
Fore edge. I only know that because of the wonders of fore-edge painting [link]
Tankless water heaters are much better than they were, and one would probably be okay for just two of you, particularly with low-flow faucets. The problem with tankless water heaters is the water is heated as it goes through the heating element, so the faster the water flow, the cooler the water. They are significantly more expensive than traditional water heaters. You might want to look into point-of-use tankless water heaters, which just heat the water for a single area. They're sometimes used for bathrooms in additions or at the far end of the run from the water heater. It's possible that with your setup, you might be able to use a traditional water heater as part of your thermal mass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Right. Because of the cows.
And their watches?

Actually I just googled and now google says it's because it wouldn't be cool enough to have an extended evening. I thought it was because in the 1960s farmers said the cows would get up no matter what clock time it was.
The funny thing google gave me was the subhed for an NPR story that roughly went, "how does Arizona DEAL?!" Well, how does the rest of the country deal with resetting their clocks twice a year? It's not a huge deal to be in a different time zone from other states half the year.

Indiana bitched about DST because of the cows. Arizona, however, has a legitimate complaint, IMO. The idea is to increase the amount of daylight that people use. Only, when you increase daylight when you're in the desert, you just get more heat.

I have to confess to finding the whole DST thing a little odd anyway.

I always get a little weirded out by the fact that time is such an artificial construct that we can play with it the way we do with DST. If everyone on the planet agrees (or at least most of them) we just impose a new time on people. It's very strange.

Thanks, Ginger! Damn, those fore-edge paintings are amazing, particularly the videos!

Well, you just move around the times you deal with the heat, really.

Seriously. I mean, the real reason it stays light later in the summer is because of the movement of the earth. That seems fine by me. But then we change it up, and make that happen artificially earlier because of the decision of the government. Weird.
