Ahh, the time has once again come to change all of the time displaying appliances in my house to a new time. I get to jump "ahead" an hour. Wow, how can I adjust my sundial? Let's start a list: My wall clock, television, VCR, microwave, watch, alarm clock(2), garage clock, and car stereo all have to be changed. First off, my car stereo will take about 15 minutes to change because I have to dig out my instruction manual from wherever it wandered off to this time, then I have to change my VCR and TV, another 10 minutes, then the wall clock, my 2 alarm clocks, and my microwave clock, about another 15 minutes. I have to live with the garage clock being off since it is behind my yard furniture and I really don't see the point in moving all that stuff to change a clock I see twice a day in passing. So, now I have lost just under an hour of my life. Thankfully, I gave my great-grandparents desk clock to my dad. He can have the joy of adjusting it. Wait until fall when he has to advance it 23 hours to change it back an hour. If we were really meant to use an artificail construct like time in this manner, we would have every appliance change their displays for us. The bottom line, Daylight savings time is a waste of time. 11:59 A.M.( Ante Meridian)i.e. before the meridian means just that. The sun is still before it's peak in my area. I know that, the farmers sure know that and it's they who were the original beneficiaries of D.S.T. We, as the race who artificially labeled time and decreed that it would take 24 hours to comprise a day, can decide to not change our clocks twice a year and lose 2 hours of our lives a year fighting time keeping devices, which don't keep time very well if they constantly lose an hour every fall, if all of us take a Monty Python moment and say, " Stop! This is entirely too silly!" Even a bad movie now only takes 80 minutes of your life.
