Just a thought on ending Daylight Savings Time

Posted on October 31, 2009 by Shannon

A wise old Native American once said:

Only the government would believe you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom and have a longer blanket.

Good-bye, 5:00 p.m. daylight. I’m going to miss you. Hello, seasonal depression.

By the way, don’t forget to fall back one hour tonight. Unless you are lucky enough to live in Arizona or Hawaii. Or you are feeling particularly rebellious and want to extend summer time indefinitely! Do I sense a grassroots movement starting?

    thanks for your message. I find your observation on the tenor of the blogs lately interesting because I just started a blog (so I have no basis of comparison). I just assumed it has always been like this. I’m sure there was anger at Bush and Cheney, and now there is anger at Obama. Is this just a horse-trade or is something building? I really don’t know. thx
