Daylight Blah

Who invented daylight savings? I hate Ben Franklin. Yes he did a bunch of wonderful things a long, long time ago -- but I just lost an hour of my life that I wanted this Monday morning.

Maybe I just have a "case of the Mondays." Who knows, but hear me out.

It's an easy concept, but it's something that I'm getting tired of. Spring forward, Fall back. What a catchy phrase.

Why do it? Of the estimated 300 million people in American, I'm assuming less than 1 percent of those farm.

Yes we still have a large population in Texas that get up at the breakneck of dawn to do stuff -- what I don't know -- but do they really need that hour when the time comes?

Why can't they just read their farmer's almanac and work in the dark as the rest of the world rests.

It drags the body down. I woke up late, I arrived to work late and I'm sure I'll have to try to go to bed early to adjust the system.

I do have to apologize to my church for skipping out Sunday. The hour got me. Here I thought I was good and ready to show up early to schmooze with the rest of the congregation, when I learned of the change.

To top it all off, I just learned that Daylight Savings might be bad for the environment. http://www.thestar.com/News/article/326611
