Again, one of those pop culture things I just don't get. Can anybody tell me why it is so necessary to change the time from standard to daylight savings? I don't care if it is 3 weeks earlier than normal or not this year, I don't see the benefit at all. Some people claim it saves energy. How? I will either use energy in the morning or the evening so there is no saving energy, it just disrupts my routine horribly. When you get out at daylight to start working and the time of daylight changes it screws you up considerably. What a pain.

What I don't understand is why a rancher or farmer don't just love daylight saving time, it gives there crops and livestock an extra hour every day to grow. This all started when an old indian found his blanket was too short. He cut a foot off the bottom and sewed it on the top to make it longer.

You know, I think that only kindof explains it. Because time can't be created or destroyed, I think the extra hour that the crops get to grow each day comes out of my daily allotment. Only that can explain why I feel so crappy the week after DST kicks in. [/snark]

It is a government conspiracy to induce a sort of jet lag in the entire population, so as to render us all too confused to know what they are up to.

I like Richard's thinking on this one. At least we're not in the middle of calving and trying to adjust. I wish they'd leave it one way or the other.

People often ask me why we don't go on DST here in Arizona. I usually reply, "when it's 115 degrees outside, and the temperature doesn't drop below 100 until well AFTER midnight, would YOU want an extra hour of sunlight?" (Only in AZ could you have a Japanese sidewalk restaurant -- when the cook comes out and prepares your meal on the sidewalk. At midnight.)
