GET TO KNOW DOMINO PARK!

If you haven’t read the books, you don’t even know why it’s called Domino Park.
My second book, Early Spring, is a great book to read for Easter. But, you really should read Bound Together by Beetles first.

My books have been available on Amazon as ebooks for a year now and are in great need of attention. MY BOOKS NEED MORE REVIEWS on Amazon and Goodreads.

Amazon is almost everywhere in the world, so please help. Search “Domino Park Comics” or “DeeDee Andrews” on your local Amazon website. If you are in the U.S., the links are on my sidebar.

Here’s the best part: they will be FREE TO DOWNLOAD APRIL 15 – 17, 2014.

Happy Easter!

In parts of the world you will be setting your clock forward one hour, at 2:00 AM on Sunday. It’s Daylight Savings Time. Actually the correct term is Daylight Saving; without the s. But, I don’t know anyone who says it that way. I grew up with the s. I’m keeping the s.

My readers are global and I know this comic strip doesn’t apply to all of you. So, I just conducted about 20 minutes of extensive research concerning Daylight Savings Time. This is what I learned.

Most of the United States and most of Canada will change their clocks on March 9. Most of Arizona, Hawaii and parts of Alaska refuse to participate.

Mexico breaks it up. Part of Mexico will change with the U.S. on March 9; other parts will change on April 6.

The United Kingdom and a lot of Europe will be changing their clocks on March 30.

Parts of the Southern Hemisphere will do everything backwards. For example, Australia and New Zealand will fall back on April 6.

There are a lot of places around the world that don’t participate in Daylight Savings.

Here’s where it gets really weird. At the South Pole they will change their clocks to fall back on April 6. Why would they bother? Isn’t it about to go dark for 24 hours a day at the South Pole? Aren’t the smartest researchers catching the last flights out, about now? Won’t there only be about a dozen people left to worry about changing the clocks? How do they even know what time it is in the first place? The South Pole is in all 24 time zones.

I decided to go ask the Wise Old Owl. Yes, Domino Park has a Wise Old Owl. He’s only in the sketch books so far, but here he is.


I said, “Wise Old Owl, why do they set their clocks for Daylight Savings Time at the South Pole?”

This is what I learned. Apparently the research center at the South Pole is owned by Americans. So, of course they set their clocks to New Zealand time. They change their clocks for Daylight Savings because New Zealand does. Why New Zealand, you ask? New Zealand is where the airplanes will land when the researchers leave the South Pole. It helps the researchers adjust their internal clocks if they’re already on New Zealand time. I guess that’s rational. It just goes to show that sometimes the answers aren’t as funny as the questions.

I just had the great honor of being a guest author on "Chris, the Story Reading Ape", a fantastic book blog. If you would like to read it, here is the link: http://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/201...

I'm having a Free down-load weekend of my first book (Domino Park Comics, Bound Together by Beetles). Yes, please tell everybody! This is page 48!


It's available on Amazon, for your Kindle!

I just wanted my friend on Goodreads to know that I have faired well through the Colorado Flood. Our house is high and dry, although the town has been cut in half by the flooding river. My daughter is on the other side of the river, but all the bridges have been washed away.



I have friends, several different families, who are stuck in their homes up the canyon. The highway, which runs up into the Rocky Mountains, is washed away, in many places, all the way to Estes Park. Plus, my friends live in little communities where small bridges cross the river giving access into their neighborhoods. All of those bridges are gone. Telephone lines and cell phone towers are gone, so we are hearing very little from them.



So we sit and we wait for the rain to stop. Then, we will wait for the rescue helicopters to bring our friends down off the mountain. Then, we will wait for the water to recede. Then, we will wait for the bridges to be rebuilt and the roads to be repaired.



I believe that there is much pain and hardship yet to come. But, now we pray and we wait.

I'm planning to start writing my blog in comic strip style. This first one is just a test. But, I have bigger, better ones planned. What do you think? Do you want to see my comic strips on Goodreads? Opinions are welcome!
