Jilda and I both were like sore-tail-cats today. I don't think we're sick, and there's nothing troubling us...except this damn time change. I'm sorry for the bad language, but there's no other way to describe just how we feel about "Springing Forward".
Researchers say it doesn't help farmers, it doesn't save energy. I did make people sicker, have more heart attacks, and spend more money.
If I were to put on my root-cause-analysis hat, the "Spend More Money" would have been a Ding Ding Ding DING moment. The real reason we have daylight savings time is that it makes more money for business and in turn politicians.
One of the Native American sites had this to offer:
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’
Nuff said.
