I honestly do not know what the big deal is about DST.
All winter, I leave for work in Boston and it is Dark. I come home from work and it is Dark.
It takes me a week to get used to it, and my dog even longer...but not a huge dealio, personally

I don't see the big deal either. If we eliminated DST and stuck with standard time then people would complain it gets dark too early in the summer. If we stuck with DST and skipped standard time, then people would complain it is too dark in the morning when kids go to school in the winter (and skiing would have to start a bit later which IMO would just bring more crowds earlier since people would have more time to wake up in the morning)

It was leaked trailboss. His people came to the Picture in to make the reservation and let them know what was going to happen. George Dorsey who ownes the picture inn and the Warren Store is a Republican that lives in Florida. I bet that is where the connection is from. Someone working there leaked the info I was told and it makes sense.
I don't think that's accurate. Looking at donation history, he has donated almost exclusively to the Democratic party. On top of that, I believe it was only mentioned that the secret service reserved rooms - not who would be staying there. I would assume he's staying in a rental house somewhere and the reservations are for his staff and entourage.

Of course, we all have to pay for SS to stay at the priciest place in the Valley. Bet they run up a nice tab at Tracks

Leeks are always part of these plans.
Best place for him to stay is Twin Farms but a bit a drive, they have had many of the highest profile families stay there.
I was thinking The Inn at the Round Barn Farm - nearby, a bit remote, could easily land Marine Two there, easy drive to Mad Taco and Canteen, etc. etc.

He is probably staying at a private home - makes the most sense. (Think of one of the homes way off the road on East Warren Road) There is no way he is staying the Pitcher Inn. That was put out to throw off all the protesters. Security detail is probably staying at the Inn.
