TSCLT 8.0: Jesus Hates A Pussy

Springing forward is no prob., it's the falling back. It's mostly mental. I run on Sun time and the disconnect between the Sun and the clock puts me off schedule for a while.
 
Since joining the people of the night, the effects are actually minimal. Unless the sun is up too far in the sky.
I may have to get my car windows tinted more, so I don't turn to dust before I get home.

I was about to say, you have a little different perspective on the situation.

All in all I don't think it was one of ole Ben's better ideas. (Although he got credit, it was based on a satire he wrote.) In that day and age it was sun up to sun down and virtually no one had clocks. Those towns that did have clocks assigned someone to go out and set it to noon when the Sun was at it's zenith, or as close as that person could tell. Time didn't become standardized until the railroads had managed to mangle or kill a lot of folks and rolling stock. Imagine trying to set schedules when there were over 300 different time zones. Some guy named Hudson actually proposed it in 1895, probably after reading Ben's satire.
 
In today's world I don't see any benefit to the time changes at all. It's just another annoyance to add to the list of mundane daily annoyances.

On the other hand if it weren't for annoyances we'd have little to talk about or laugh at.
 
Oh don't get me wrong, sometimes I miss ole Sol. But now my skin cancer risk is extremely diminished. :)
 
Here, the DST is closer to sun time.

Ya know, I was thinking, heck I may as well live in Alaska. But then I remembered things like temps in negative numbers, and let's be honest, I'm just not tough enough for way up North.

Get a remote start for the car, a nice warm jacket, and say good bye to winter yard chores.

I can remember a few times in my life where it was warmer in Alaska than in Atlanta, but, to be fair, not many.
