DST

We are back on God’s time and not daylight savings time. I have never been a fan of daylight time and am lead to believe that this may be one of those rare cases where I am in the majority. Daylight savings time does not save daylight nor energy. It does create an opportunity for more retail sales. Follow the money. Always follow the money.

Daylight time is very much like cutting a foot off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the opposite end to make the blanket longer.

Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight savings time. They have all the daylight they want.

Aside from all the reasonable and rational arguments to DST, I, being an animal lover, have always wondered about roosters. Roosters have a job, crow at daylight to let everyone know it’s daylight. They are natures alarm clock. But in all the years and all the studies into the effects of DST I have yet to see any research into the psychological impact on roosters.

Does no one care about how roosters feel when they, which have no clocks, begin to announce daylight and realize that everyone is already up.

We have a neighbor that had a rooster. Every morning at sunrise, he would crow. But as time progressed he stopped.

I don’t know if he went into therapy or just died of a broken heart.
