Horses hate daylight savings time

Horses don’t care if daylight savings has ended and you are supposed to have an extra hour to sleep in. They just know that you are late and that they are hungry. When we went out this morning according to the clock we were a bit early. But the horses knew that we were late and that they should have been fed much earlier. They calmed down once they had their food, but they were close to mutiny. Personally I can’t blame them.
Daylight savings is old fashioned and needs to be done away with. Just like the penny, inches, gallons, and Miles. (pun intended Just kidding bro.) But seriously, why should we continue with the old when the new is so much better? Like batteries, did you know that batteries were invented in the 1800’s? And that you car’s lead acid battery was invented in 1859? Even the state of the art Li ion batteries were invented in the 1991! That is last MILLENNIUM folks! We need to get rid of them! Throw them away and replace them with newer and safer batteries that are grown for a specific purpose. Have a nanobot that is programmed to turn people’s brains in to grey goo? I don’t think a triple A battery is going to cut it, you need a custom grown job. Need a battery for that new car growing in your garage? Heaven knows you don’t want one that contains heavy metals or that might stunt the growth on one side. Grow a series of batteries that can cope with the job, especially a series that is able to gather free energy as you drive. The next time you pick up your iPod remember that if the battery inside isn’t grown for iPod it doesn’t belong there!
Go plant some custom batteries today!

So you want me to turn my brain into goop and grow batteries in it? What are they feeding you out there??

Corn in Nebraska we eat corn. We eat lots and lots of corn. They put corn in everything including the gasoline!

Good Morning o' mighty Zen. I was sitting here in my Marketing Strategy class and thought I would see if I could find you... Google is pretty amazing.

Did you successfully cause an explosion your first week in Nebraska? Been to any football games lately?

I hope life is treating you well and that things are going well.

Things at the "lab" are plugging along. They still haven't officially replaced Hank, and that is starting to cause some issues.
I just know that I will not be taking his position. I am however hoping to move on to a new position after I graduate in May.

Good Luck, keep in touch.
