Don't Forget!

do i really have to get up at 2 am to change the clocks?

You could change them right now if you want to.

good idea

We can both do it. OK?

I'm setting mine backward.

This way I can feel younger and reminisce about the bygone days.

This means summer is coming :-) My smile would be bigger if we weren't getting a bunch of snow this weekend.

I have three atomic clocks, and they change all by themselves, as does my computer. I will have to change my wristwatch though!

Time to turn the sundial.

I didn't change mine last time, so I don't have to do it now.

And change the battery in your smoke alarm too, so that it doesn't start chirping in late May. (Ususally about 2:13AM)

After the clock change, we'll be dark at 6 a.m. but light up to about 7:30 p.m.

I don't like daylight savings time, it is confusing and unnatural. If things were left to themselves we'd be happier. Why should the government screw around with our internal clocks TWICE a year? Mind-control, dammit. It's just mind-control.

Maybe I won't change my clocks this year. phbbbbt

Stems from the 2nd WW. War gardens etc.

War gardens??? The plants go on daylight savings time?

Nobody ever complains seriously about DST but it distresses me and takes me a few days each time to get over it. I truly think it stinks. If some presidential candidate would run with a no more DST platform, I'd be surely interested.

daylight savings time was the idea of Ben Franklin to encourage shopping. at the time there was not the lighting available to keep the markets open in the summer evenings and by adjusting the workday clock there were longer evening hours with daylight for continued shopping.

Well, I've always thought B.Franklin was an interesting fella but he's dropped a notch in my book.

Ours just went back last weekend.

Piffka:
There are several places that don't change, Arizona because they think it's a government plot and Indiana because of the cows. At least that's what they claim. Actually in Indiana there are about three, possibly four times to choose from : near Chicago they switch to DST AND use Eastern and Central time, there are about three counties in the southeast part of the state that don't switch, interspersed with ones that do, so driving along I-40 is an interesting thing to do in April. Every restaurant has two clocks. The Capitol uses DST and CST.

It's really us humans trying to fit our technology unto this spinning orb. If we had no clocks we would get up with the sun and sleep at dark. As the world changed we would change. The rooster knows that. He doesn't care about your Timex, he stays on time throughout the year.

I don't know what to say.... mooo? or I've always liked Arizona!

[That is amazing about Indiana~! Illinois is all one?]
