DayLight Savings Time

Is this really something we need to fuck with?

I keep asking if it's really something we need! It fucks with my head twice a year, and I don't think I'd miss it.

The more daylight I have in my hours in the day...the better I feel about wasted time...but the later I eat and the more I stay outside and the later I go to bed...only to rise more tired than when I went to bed...


Arrrrggggggggggg! It fucks with my head!

A writer in 1947 wrote, "I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." (Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 1947, XIX, Sunday.)

LOL Cheyanne .... As I get older ... this playing with the clock get's harder for my body to adjust to (every year a bit harder) .... I can at least say that I'm grateful they stopped doing the Double Daylight savings time a long time ago - I don't remember it, but I've heard it was practiced .... sometime back in the "dark" ages probably!

Spring swings back in, and more about Daylight Savings Time

"Yesterday, I talked a bit about Daylight Saving Time, and some of the reasons for having it. One is that it apparently saves energy. Webexhibits.org quotes a Department of Energy study that shows Daylight Saving trims a small (less than 1%), but significant amount of energy consumed in the U.S.

Apparently, the savings in other countries is even greater. In New Zealand, power consumption drops 3.5%. Since much of the electricity we consume is in the evening, we need less artificial light, and thus less electricity."

So-o-o-o-o-o...
it would appear that Lixy's energy LOSS is the rest of our energy GAIN...since we all know from the First Principle of Thermodynamics...energy is conserved, i.e., energy can neither be created nor destroyed. :grin:

Just turn it off. There is no need for it in this day and age.

Yes, we definitely need to fuck with so-called daylight savings time. By completely eliminating it.
