It's time to change the frikken clocks.

Yeah, why should the world cater to those damned farmers and much-reviled children going to school in the mornings during non-Winter months? Or cut down on power usage for lighting?

Our privileges are at stake here!

Even the Romans were bright enough to do an equivalent thing about the time.

Get that rectal insect infestation cleared up, then buy yourself a watch supporting two time zones or something. Sheesh!

For once I agree with you:)).

The lovely lady who lives over the road from me has a sun-dial in her garden, and, she is adamant that she can look at it and give me the time to the minute, but it's far too complex for my little brain to understand. šŸ˜Š

I guess one advantage of being a poor sleeper is the time change has little effect on me, I never notice the loss or gain of time in bed.

Also as a retired guy who has the entire day to do as I please it makes no difference what the clock reads, if it's light out I'm busy, when it gets dark I quit.
 
It's good to be back on real time instead of that phoney "Daylight savings" time. By the way. The name "Daylight Savings Time" is a blatant misrepresentation. There is exactly the same amount of daylight at any given location and date no matter what the clock happens to be set on. Although I suspect that if polled a disturbingly high perscentage of our population would say that there is more daylight during daylight savings time.

 
What amazes me is nobody seems to understand that we only get X number of minutes of sunlight per day, regardless of when we start counting. Daylight savings may have made questionable sense in the 1700s, but today we have electric lighting. So, we either turn the lights on in the morning, or turn them on at night, according to DST. Either way, there's no bonanza of savings.
 
I guess I'm in the minority, but I love the "fall back" thing we do in autumn. (Not so much in spring.) We get an extra hour to sleep in the morning folks! Or if we're early risers by nature, we get an extra hour anyway to spend however we want. Time speeds along so quickly that I'm glad to get all the "extra" time I can get, to do whatever I want.

But of course we pay for it by losing an hour in the spring. And I do still have a few old-fashioned clocks that I have to remember to set back. Everything has its ups and downs.

I do think the whole idea is kind of silly, though, in the non-agricultural world we're living in.

What amazes me is that anyone thinks we don't understand how (and why) it all works. I gave some of the reason above, and even mentioned that ancient Rome could understand the need and implemented something similar.

Surely you have a lawn to chase kids away from? :ROFLMAO:
