Everyone knows morning people aren't real people so....

I don't personally care about the actual hour time change. Most of my "clocks" are digital and adjust themselves. I work from home whatever hours I want so I usually wake up when the good lord deems it so.

However freaking night time at 5pm heeeeelllllll no! I like fall as much as the next guy and winter in FL is great... but all those seasons still exist regardless of what time the clock says.

Adjust society instead, and of course have Dolly Parton re-record "9 to 5" as '4 to 12" (UTC).....
This was brilliant.

Also, I concur.

It wasn't even pink in the east when I went to work at 6:00 though AND, I didn't even slow down on planting the garden until almost 6. The sun was still up. I'm figuring tomorrow I can put the chile plants in the ground, then have just a final 1/4 to weed and figure out what to put in there.

I usually leave for work at 6:00 but went in late today. I should be ok in the mornings as long as it’s not raining and dark. Getting old sucks.

Time isn't real, just like money.

Btw, I hate DST!

Carry on, folks.

Indeed. But it sure beats the alternative.

Glad that your evil twin is gone until the fall.

My evil twin just made his annual spring appearance. Having commuted driving east in the morning and west after work, I've been patiently waiting all winter for the morning sun to be above the top of the windshield so that my poor retinas aren't burned out. As soon as it finally happened, DST came and put the sun right back into my eyes for another month....
