Like it or not, tonight (3-9-25) at 2 am, the clocks magically Spring forward... Who notifies the dairy cows?
Personally, I wish it just stayed one way or the other.
Better yet, Morning is when you can see, and night is when you cannot.

I'm with you Thomas!

Let's pick one time and go with it would be my vote. So many wacky things happen because of the time change.

What fascinates me is that I don’t have a time I have to be anywhere unto late May. Yet, I still check to see what time it is. Humans are strange creatures.

I figure if someone from the future hasn’t tried to stop me, I can’t be messing up that bad.

" I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, and if the moonshine don't get me I'll live 'till I die." Irish Traditional song.
Pretty much sums up daylight "saving" for me. [Well, maybe not the moonshine bit] My eyes open when the light level is right . . . then the day goes from there. Only time the clock means anything is for appointments, which are few and far between. Maybe I've always been out of step with the rest of the world

If I had my way it would be daylight savings time all year long. That way in winter it wouldn't get dark until 5:30pm, rather than the crappy 4:30pm sunsets we get in Dec. on stupid standard time. Yes I have big feelings about this. I better stop now I'm in danger of cidarpress repremands haha.

The time on the clock doesn't matter much to me unless I have an appointment but the 'spring ahead' makes my sleep pattern appear more normal to others.

Now, instead of sleeping from 7pm until 2 or 3am it's 8pm until 3 or 4am 🙃

I suppose this is important enoughto mention. I just changed the time on our kitchen clock. Now I have to find my watch. Then there are the cars.

It wasn't my idea to go to some crazy nightclub in the middle of nowhere. I just wanted to stay home and cuddle with this tiny ad:
