Decisions, decisions, decisions. Seems like we are always faced with decisions in life; hot dogs or soup for dinner tonight, buy this dress or those pants, paint the living room pale gray or light yellow? But at least we make decisions in our everyday lives and we live with the consequences. Those decisions are made knowing or at least estimating what the consequences will be, whether they turn out to be good or bad in the long haul.

It’s almost shameful that our legislators, local, state or federal can’t seem to do the job that they have been tasked with. We elected them and pay them to make decisions, so why don’t they?

I get it, immigration, school funding, highway repairs, drug enforcement, and other wide-ranging topics need in-depth analysis so as to buttress ‘the best decision,’ but then there’s daylight saving time. I personally like springing forward and falling back but is it any skin off my nose to rescind DST? No.

For all those folks in Olympia I can only say this: Make. The. Decision. Then we can finally put an end to all this hullabaloo and you can get on with doing things that are actually important.
