Comments: Expand Shrink Hide (Always) | Indented Flat (Always)
Was last year.
I go "thank god daylight savings time is here...now it will be light out for hours after we get home from work".
He goes "Yeah, and the now the leaves will start to really come out."
I go "what?"
He goes "It's light out longer."
I go "The trees don't wear a watch John. They don't know that is is still light out now seven p.m".
He goes "what?"
I go 'Oh my god."
He goes "what?! there's more daylight now."
I just stared at him in amazement. And horror. This man graduated with honors. He is an Engineer. He can do any calculus problem in two seconds flat. I don't even get fractions and have to figure out what 33 percent is by going ten percent plus ten plus ten plus five minus two point five.

always done. But, we can laugh, with good nature, at the folks who think this is good legislation.

If the people can really be tricked into thinking they are saving daylight by changing their clocks, why not change the calendar, too? We could eliminate February and add an extra summer month. It could be the "Warmth Saving Calendar".

has a whole leap month every so often, instead of a leap day every four years. (It's a lunar calendar.)

Preferably for a week before and a week after daylight savings time. Maybe that would help.
Or, just get outside more - take a walk with him every morning at 7 am, year round.

About an extra minute or so a day. The equinox is in less than two weeks.
Maybe this is a communication problem, not a stupidity problem.
