Merry Christmas!
We’ve been up and about for a few hours already, owing to Aruba’s practice of not observing Daylight Savings Time and being therefore one hour ahead of Eastern Time, despite being similarly situated latitudinally longitudinally.
I suspect few are reading political blogs today and even fewer are writing on them. My guess it that I won’t be posting again today but I’ll be getting back into the swing of things soon enough.

I’m glad you didn’t say “nobody is reading political blogs today.” I might have gotten offended. :)
Enjoy your stay!

…despite being similarly situated latitudinally.
To “pick a nit,” I suspect you meant “similarly situated longitudinally.” You are at a considerably more southern latitude, but at about the same longitude. Being further south during the winter does, however, make sunrise a bit earlier (during the summer it makes it later).
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you.

James,
This time of year not observing Daylight Savings Time doesn’t mean a dang thing, since nobody observes DST during the Winter.

I wish I was down in Aruba Right now. It is a beautiful Island and has a great Golf Course, though the wind tends to push the golf ball around a lot.
Have a Amstel Bright for me.
