I mean not really. It's just later in the day still the same amount of daylight
Technically like 1.4 more minutes of daylight even.
Technically 2.39. I look at this from time to time.

February is the dead of winter, the underbrush has been beat down and even the late leaf droppers have lost their leaves.

Only if you are retired. I couldn't wait for the spring change of time for my group road rides after work before I was retired now it don't matter.
I'm sure there's tons of posts like these.

At the risk of exposing what a nerd I am, I’ll tell you that when I first opened my Forest Service uniform, I held my badge and cried. I was so proud to be part of the agency whose mission is “caring for the land and serving people”. I thought about how proud my dad would be. He instilled in me a sense of duty, patriotism, and a strong desire to do what’s right, especially when people need it most.
For the past 19.5 months, I’ve been working in disaster recovery for the National Forests in North Carolina. I worked on 6 hurricanes or major storms and a dozen or more wildfires during that time, including deployments to western states.
I also took a temp promotion as the District Ranger for the Grandfather Ranger District two weeks before Hurricane Helene ravaged Pisgah National Forest, western NC, and other states. While my own family didn’t have power or a way to keep food and medication cold, I went in and worked 19 days straight before someone made me take a break.
I led the District to the best of my ability through something none of us signed up for. I had to. People needed us. Our first focus was clearing a path to get to 35 kids and their teachers who were trapped in a facility behind several landslides and giant piles of debris. After that, we focused on supporting search and rescue, clearing roads for emergency access, and helping everywhere we could.
I returned to my normal role on the disaster recovery team in January and started working towards long-term recovery for the Forest and our local communities. On Thursday, I stood on the ruined part of I-40 with a team planning how to stick an interstate back on the side of a mountain. People probably don’t realize that portion sits on National Forest land and cannot be fixed without Forest Service employees. That afternoon we got word that 14 of our employees were indiscriminately fired. All of them were actively working on hurricane recovery.
Yesterday, I received the call that I was being fired. We’ve lost 17 in total from the National Forests in North Carolina. Every single one was working on hurricane recovery projects. The majority of them hold firefighter or incident management qualifications and actively support wildfire operations. The US Forest Service has reportedly lost more than 4000 employees at this point. More than 10% of the agency.
My termination letter said it was “based on performance”. The supervisor that called me said I was the best hire they had ever made. My performance reviews have always been excellent. I love what I do and, like so many of my colleagues, I care about getting it right to meet our mission.
In my time working for this agency, I think I’ve made a difference. Besides growing personally and professionally, I’ve tried to be an example of a strong, caring woman for my daughters. I talk with them about how we can do hard things and we should always “do what we can, with what we have, where we’re at.” When I told them that I wasn’t allowed to do my job anymore, they cried with me. We have all sacrificed for my work. I’ve taught them to believe it matters.
It still matters.
I hope I get to do it again one day.

Like it's some kind of bad reality TV show. But in real life.

I was going to make a sarcastic DEI joke about this, but it's just too damn depressing. Don't go to the r/fednews subreddit, it's just horrendous what they're doing to people.I'm sure there's tons of posts like these.

This is how it starts #1939
$10.34 for two slices.
Be happy you can order by the slice. Not possible in a lot of places outside NY/NJ/CT as I've learned.

Not paying too much attention during history hour, were we?
Well there's no reason to move someplace like that. One more thing I'll need to research if my wife ever gives up on NJ.
Luckily I live in a place where I can ride my bike from my house, do two and a half hours through great trails in a National Forest, pop out into town from the trails, roll into a pizza place off the bike path where I can eat a slice or two and then ride home. 🙂
I can certainly vouch for this. Lots of incredibly talented, capable, hard working people having their lives torn apart for exactly zero reason.
