Seeing Daylight

We spring forward with Daylight Saving Time this weekend? What’s up with that? I dislike DST anyway and now it’s two weeks early. Who should be shot for this idea? We should be trying to get rid of DST, not lengthen it! It’s just a perception adjustment for god’s sake; it’s not like you can manipulate time. I voiced this opinion to a couple of people and both said, “But don’t you want another hour of sunshine in the afternoon?” Really people; there is still the same amount of time during the day; changing your clocks doesn’t buy you more sunshine! This little rant proves I’m getting more like my mother every year. She complained about DST from day one of its adoption in 1942 (this was in California…you do know it’s still a states rights decision, don’t you…check out Arizona and Hawaii). In some years thereafter she sometimes refused to change her clocks and she was still on time for appointments. And in October she didn’t have to lift a finger (the one she gave us in March).
