Morning Pops and those wondering why we have to keep screwing with the time. It's now darker earlier in the pm and lighter earlier in the am but since I am usually not up to welcome the sunrise, I would prefer they leave it the hell alone but I know folks like Runny get up early for work so that's a good thing and folks like Leon get up to have a cup of coffee for what reason puzzles me but to each his own.
What I don't like is that I've got this additional hour that I could have used constructively but I was sleeping like most people, or at least trying to. If they insist on doing this, why 2am? Why not noon and get an additional lunch or 5 o'clock and enjoy an additional cocktail hour? You give people a second lunch or cocktail hour, you've got some happy people and fewer questioning why we do this.
Or, hey, how about this? We get to pick our own hour for the set back. If you screw something up, you pick that time and it's undone and you get that hour over. We'd all have to agree not to ask each other "what time is it"? for that day or violence might erupt. And speaking of that, the next time someone asks you "have you got the time", reply "for what"? instead of telling them the time. If they're so interested in the time, why don't they have a watch? I think it is irresponsible for people to count on others to keep them on time. When someone asks me and it's sunny, I pretend I am a sundial and make them work a little for it.
If you've got family or friends in Arizona or Indiana, anarchist states that do not recognize DST, call them a couple of times today and ask them what time it is, they love that. I set my iPhone to remind me to randomly call people in those states once a week just to ask them. With all the retirees in AZ, I don't know why they don't fall back an hour every day.
