Daylight Saving Time

Turn your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed, get up at 2:00 a.m. and change the clocks, wait until you get up on the 9th or just ignore daylight saving time and maybe it will go away. It’s that time again. When we cut off one end of the blanket and sew it on the other to make it longer.

It is widely known that I don’t like daylight saving time. It just doesn’t make any sense to me, but then, very little makes any sense to me. Why don’t we just move the clock ahead and leave it that way all year or just leave time alone.

Better yet, let’s move the clock back one hour twice a year. That way everyone would get younger. The rent wouldn’t come due as soon. Gasoline prices would have to go backward. The things you forgot could be done on time. We could get a "do over" on things we said or did that we wish we hadn’t. You get the idea. There are lots of reasons to go back two hours per year.

If we do it long enough, we’ll end up where we started and maybe we could fix all the messes we’ve gotten ourselves into.
