Once again it’s time time to change your clocks.

\nWHY DO WE DO IT?!
\nIt’s stupid. We’d save a lot of time, and frustration if we just said screw it.
\nSeriously can you give me 1 good reason to have “daylight savings.”<\/p>\n

When I lived in a rural area they said it was so the “city folk” could get to the golf courses 1 hour earlier, and when I lived in the city the city they claim it’s so the farmers can get to the fields earlier.<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you why we do it … idiots.<\/p>\n

We could just set our clocks forward 30 minutes this spring, and forget about it. Ya we’d be 30 minutes off compared to the “rest of the world”, but we’d be *on time with the planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just think about it, and write your congressman.<\/p>\n
