Similar with whole young ducks at BJ’s (a wholesaler if they don’t have them in the Dessert, Dan). But I was paying full price, buying a couple every 10 days or so. They stopped carrying and I asked meat manager about it, and it turns out that I and one lady were the only ones buying them, so out of a box of 10 he was sending 5-6 back every time.
I think my grandson must have a dozen or more of Sandra Boynton’s kids’ books. We read several every day.
This is the common wisdom, but it’s not all that true. It was more about energy savings (esp. in WWI) and the ag industry and farmers were largely against it. Or so I’ve always read in the history books.
See number 5 in the link below.
I’d just as soon they leave it at Standard Time all the time. But many I’ve asked would prefer it left at DST all the time so they have “more time to do things in the evenings.”
Yeah it is a tough call. People in states more to the west side of their own time zone dislike having ES-aged children standing at bus stops in the dark (if DST were year round).
(Picking extremes on purpose, but) Consider NYC sunrise on DST today would be 7:40, but that’d be about 8:30 in Indy or Terre Haute. I guess one solution is to start ES kids a lot later in the day, but that might have some downstream problems (although some Indy PS systems do start ES kids after 9 a.m.).
Here (not so far into the Eastern time zone as Indy) we have a split ES starting schedules with some starting at 7:40 and others at 8:20 (to make more efficient use of fewer busses), but with either of those and a DST sunrise time of about 8:10, the kids would still be in the dark. Edit - and by mid-winter it’d still be pretty much pitch black at pickup time here with an 8:40 sunrise.
But if standard were year round (which as someone relatively far south in my timezone, I would prefer), people more to the north in their own time zones tend to prefer the sun come up around 5 instead of 4 a.m. or earlier, and the north-to-south sunrise (or sunset) differences are considerably larger that the east-to-west differences.
I still have my copy of Chocolate: The Consuming Passion.
He is very lucky you’re so involved! 
This one got an actual chuckle out loud. Had to show it to the wife (she asked why).
@paryzer. That reminds me. In my state, “Clearance” does not necessarily mean “sale priced”. Only if it says “Clearance Sale” are the goods required to be at a reduced price from regular.
Sneaky bastahds!
