Musings: •Would you believe, dear reader, that T. Rump and The Chas are on the same page on something? The “something” is Daylight Savings Time (DST). The man who would be king thinks that DST is “inconvenient,” while the man who is smarter than he is thinks it is ”unnecessary,”
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Charles Coddington should be embarrassed by his latest article (January 2), but is too ignorant to know where he went wrong. “Spongy,” Coddington doesn’t soak up information well! So this article is an attempt to set him on the right path. “The Chas,” as Coddington refers
