The inanities of Daylight Savings Time

Entering my first winter this far north, I have concluded that it is utterly inane for a state at this latitude to adopt Daylight Savings Time. The bureaucrats who signed this state up for this time saving mechanism must have either been crazed by sun deprivation or eternal day.

Today time changed and I turned my clock back an hour like most of you did. However, tomorrow when I go to work, the sun will not be up yet and when I get home it will most likely have set already just like it was before the time change!! That makes the whole exercise seem rather pointless and futile to me. Perhaps this the westernmost portion of the continent on which we reside should protest this insanity by joining the easternmost portion in having clocks set a half hour different year round.

It is a tradition in memory of the old Indian whose blanket was too short to cover his feet. He cut a couple inches off the top of the blanket and sewed it on the bottom to make it longer.
