You Spring Forward This Sunday (Three Weeks EARLY!!!)

Springing forward BLOWS.

BLOWS BLOWS BLOWS!!!

As you can see on this picture, Blue are areas that currently use Daylight Savings (I have been informed by an uber anal individual that it’s Daylight SAVING time, we can all sleep better), Orange are the areas that gave it up and red are the areas that do not observe daylight saving because they are too busy fighting wars.

And because Congress thinks that they can do whatever the fuck they want, Daylight Saving is super unnatural… I think it’s kaka. I don’t see why we need it anymore…. (does some googling)

“The practice is controversial.^[1] Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours,^[3] but causes problems for farming, evening entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun.^[4][5] Traffic fatalities are reduced when there is extra afternoon daylight;^[6] its effect on health and crime is less clear” Source

What. Ever. I just hate having my Sunday all screwed up and then missing Saved By the Bell because it’s on at 9 a.m. and I think it’s 8 a.m. or whatever. It’s just really not fair.

Well, it’s only Wednesday, but let’s remind one and all: clocks spring forward early Sunday morning. 

And as fire officials will remind you, this is an excellent opportunity tochange the batteries in your smoke detectors.

By act of Congress a few years back, Daylight Saving Time starts three weeks earlier now. 

And while there will be more sun in the afternoon, beware the morning hours. High school kids will be heading off to school buses in the dark for a few weeks. Source

You know when is also a good time to change the batteries in your fire alarm? Before there’s a fire.

Everything about DST (as we call it in the business) is that it just totally fucks everything up all over. I’m getting dizzy thinking about it. My head hurts. I don’t want to have to do all that wrangling in my head where I’m like “Ok, so we’re meeting up at noon tomorrow, like noon REAL time or noon this new fangled bullshit time?”

Ughhhhhh
