It takes the dogs (and me) a few days to mentally adjust our clocks and get meal time right. Trying to figure out why we still do this is beyond me!
I saw a really good explanation in one of our weekly newspapers. Yes, we have two.
An old native elder commented that the Government thinking is similar to a blanket. If you cut one foot off the end, and sew it on the other end, it doesn't make the blanket any longer. Think about that for a while!
Saskatchewan has it right! Stay on Standard Time year round! It even makes sense to my dogs. :-}
Hmmm...I never heard that explanation! I guess this way we have more daylight in the evening...for folks that are away at work during the day. However...I find it horribly difficult to "lose" that hour in the spring...especially on a Sunday morning! We struggle to get the cows milked and morning work finished and get to Church on time as it is!
ReplyDeleteYes that is true but the sun does shine on your face(the top of the fixed blanket) a lot longer
ReplyDeleteSaskatchewan has it right! yes it does:) B
ReplyDeleteAmen to all that. I wish they'd just leave the time alone. I don't like change - on either end!
ReplyDeleteExactly- I wish someone would listen to all of us who think dst needs to be gone, gone, gone.
ReplyDeleteI read that explanation a few days ago and it makes such good sense! I wish we would all do away with the time change thing.
ReplyDeleteTry changing 5 HOURS Ian ( having flown East from Miami on Sat night)
ReplyDeleteI am still pausing mid sentence, looking for the word I need.
Or is that a SENIOR MOMENT?
Ian,
ReplyDeleteTry 5 hr time difference on our flight from Miami on Saturday. I am still pausing mid sentence (Tue) when I am lost for a word- or maybe that is called a 'Senior moment.'
I am one of those people who have no problem adjusting to daylight savings
