TIME to ADJUST (Daylight Saving Time)

[Parasaurolophus]

Oh. It's always a surprise.

I just arrived in Belgium for a conference and I fly home Sunday. Since Belgium doesn't change until later in March, there is a 6 hour change coming but only a 5 hour change going home-- so I guess that's a win?

We will be able to do after-work walks without headlamps!

Two weeks to go before normalcy.

Two weeks to go before normalcy.

Lately, I have no clue what 'normalcy' even remotely resembles!!

You've remind me to post a sign for my colleagues at the library.  (There's plenty of Fall Daylight Saving pix on Google Images) Thanks! :)

Here's a fascinating report on the status of legislation concerning Daylight Saving Time from NPR

Politics of Daylight Saving Time

fascinating because people seem to have very different views on the utility to them of Daylight Saving Time, and of course politicians will not commit under such circumstances.

One argument for Daylight Saving Time cited in the article is that it enhances aggregate spending. This could only be true for a small slice of retail, but rest assured, if there were really a demand deficit on account of abolishing Daylight Saving Time, I could make it up if the government gave me lots of money. :-)

An argument against Daylight Saving Time, also cited, is by the medical establishment. They're right about this one.

Anyway, it's not going away permanently soon.

Starting tomorrow morning, a coupla' months of peace.

Falling back is fine, it's the springing forward that I don't like.

I kinda love it. Also a big fan of it being light enough to walk my dog before I leave for work.

My dog says eating an hour later than her stomach clock dictates is some serious bull$hit.

I appreciated the extra hour of sleep! :)
I changed clocks back before bedtime last night.

I'm not sure how, since surely the device she was emailing from had updated automatically, but I had a student email today in a panic that she had over-slept and was really late for class, when in fact class didn't start for half an hour yet. Better than the spring version!

Saturday I was returning from vacation out of state and drove about 650 miles.  Then I had to wash clothing, go get groceries, and make sure the house was okay.  I was glad to have that new hour that evening!  And I still needed a two-hour nap after church.
