Every year they do this to us. In order to get Daylight Savings Time started, they make us turn the clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night. This causes us to lose an hour of our Sunday.
It’s difficult to see what use this is. As DST has gobbled up more and more of the calendar, Standard Time is is only in force for about a third of the year. How can it be “standard” if non-standard is actually the standard for two-thirds of the time?
But no government can go wrong by teaching its people to jump through hoops. Aren’t you surprised they’ve been content, so far, to go back and forth between Standard Time and Daylight Savings? They could always think up more.
Let’s see… Set your clocks back another hour, if your state voted for the President, and ahead another hour if it didn’t… Pick the calendar date out of a revolving drum (“And tomorrow’s date, my fellow Americans, will be September 17, 1957!”)… Or just go back and forth every other week instead of twice a year. The possibilities are endless.
What? This is a stupid post, what do I think I’m talking about?
Well, what do you want from a guy who went to bed an hour after bedtime?
Lee, you share my dislike for changing the clocks! Thanks for making me laugh! I posted it on FR, in hopes that they laugh too!
I’m too groggy to laugh.
love it! Besides given the ever-increasing electricity rates remind me how this has relevance?!!
