Daylight Savings


This "spring ahead, fall back" clock changing thing is really getting annoying.  Is it that onerous for children to go to school in the dark?  I don't think so. But I do tire of changing clocks in the digital age.

Every frigging one of them does it differently.  Hold this button down while pushing that one, some go only forward so "falling back" is a real chore, others require a small sharp object inserted in a hidden switch while other buttons are pushed and it goes on and on.

I just changed 22 @%#$ clocks - oven, microwave, auto, DVD player, clock radios, alarm clocks, watches, light timers (although you can leave them pretty much alone if you can live like that), and the usual raft of household clocks, of which we have an abundance.

And not once but TWICE every year!  Talk about onerous.  Bonehead bureaucrats - we're here to complicate your life.
