This Is Post #697 For The Year

The previous record was 692, last year. The year before that, 566.

And before THAT, the biggest year was 2005, with 497 posts.

Wordle has a lot to do with that, of course.

But I think 650+ (my goal for the year, and now also for next year) is a good place to be.

Wordle 1274 Hint

Hint: Today's Wordle doesn't make me so mad I want to spit, but solving it did involve a little slobber.

New to Wordle? You can play it at the New York Times, and here are some thoughts on how I go about solving each day's puzzle.

First Letter: D

OK, So Here's A Trump Policy Proposal I Support Wholeheartedly!

Per CNN:

President-elect Donald Trump said Friday the Republican Party would try to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, calling it "inconvenient" and "costly."

He seems to be unclear on whether he actually wants to eliminate DST or make it the year-long standard. I personally prefer the latter, but I'd be fine with either. Changing the clocks twice a year is annoying, it serves no real purpose, and it kills people.

Hopefully he'll be able to get a bill on his desk doing away with government recognition of the practice.
