You may have already figured out that I have a wee bit of a stubborn streak.
Oh, you hadn’t noticed?
Bless you friend.
March 11, day light savings time requires us to “spring forward” an hour.
Ha! I didn’t change half my clocks.
I changed the coffee pot (important!) the alarm clock (sorta important,) and the mantle clock (not as important but convenient. When it strikes, I know the time.)
The other clocks I left on day light savings time.
We just "fell back" in November.
Regardless of the hear-say blaming the idea on farmers,
it was actually businessmen who came up with the idea and pushed it through government.
It worked so the date has been altered a couple of times to promote consumerism.
Farmers actually lobbied against it as it messed with the cycles of their livestock.
(That makes sense to me.)
So I guess in my own quiet way,
I'm lobbying against it as I'm driving to work,
and it's after 8AM according to the clock in the car.
I wouldn't care which time we stuck with as long as it didn't change.
And now you know, I'm a rebel.

I heard it was begun in war time to save energy! - LOL
ReplyDeleteYou make me have to think too much sometimes Gorges 🙃 So I did a quick search. It appears that it began in Canada but didn't really take off until the Germans in acted it in WWI. So yep war time.
DeleteI normally wait until my phone adjusts time automatically. Then I change the time on other clocks. I've heard that some states want to get rid of day light saving, and some others want to keep it all year.
ReplyDeleteI too wish time would stay the same no matter which time the businesses decide on. It makes life flow so much easier. Now that I am retired it doesn't mean much to me either way. Annie (our dog) stays on the same food cycle no matter what we do with the time so I can see what the farmers mean.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in wishing the time would stay the same!
ReplyDeleteI like it. it feels natural to me.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would stop this time change. It throws me out of wack! Love your blog design!
