The dollar is now even lower than the Swiss franc!

Last Sunday we thought we had gotten out of bed pretty early but when we turned on the computers we realised that California overnight had started to observe daylight saving.

Tue who works on a very tight schedule these weeks were kind of sad that the lost hour fell before his deadline and we were both rather confused since none of us had heard anything about the time change.

In return the wretched affair has the advantage that the day now lasts until after 7 pm which of course is wonderful. The weather has also begun to resemble summer, the cherry blossoms are blooming, the roadsides are full of flowers, and the ground squirrels are jumping playful around on the lawns. There are certainly things that we will be missing from here…
