Good News - Daylight Savings is to become a thing of the past

We have wanted to get rid of daylight savings for a while but could not move to that unless the United States also does so and President-Elect Trump has announced that he will eliminate daylight savings. Great news from our neighbours to the south. I really prefer the bright early mornings when I arise at 6:00 a.m. Thank you for moving to that for sure. Dawn is just creeping in and it is 7:00 a.m. as I write.

Premier Ford (our premier in Ontario) wants to make a deal that works for all of us living on the North American continent and President-Elect Trump has apparently said the same according to the newsfeed.

I was not the least bit sad to see Israel eliminate all of those stockpiles of armaments, the planes and other tools of war that were in Syria. Better gone than in the hands of terrorists for sure. I think they did the world a great service actually. 

Yesterday work on the book continued. It is not yet a final read through but probably the second last one. I will be happy to see it published for sure. I will not publish a first book and a charting book later ever again as they belong together in your thoughts as you are working but it was my first genealogy book and I give myself leeway for the learning phase. Publishing that I have been involved in in the past did not require two books to complete the process but I can see the value in having the two elements separate for readability and usage. Today continuing in that same vein, reading and updating or revising but on a much smaller scale than the first time through. 

We were out for our first ski of the season yesterday. It was tough going for me as it was a bit icy but I managed to stay on my feet the entire time and distance which was about 3.5 km on my Fitbit and 76 minutes. So for a 79+ years old person I did well. I do love skiing although downhill does not appear to be my thing. Although now that I have depth of vision I might like it better. I just couldn't get a feel for going downhill at great rates unless it was just the small hills that you find on a cross country ski trail - those I could manage easily. 

Tea next and then breakfast and Latin.
