Good morning. I don’t like the time change, either. I wish they’d just pick something and stick with it.

One of my neighbors tried to justify the time change to me yesterday by using farmers as an example. This guy is from Nebraska. I asked him if he had ever seen a farmer with a watch on his wrist. Well, no, he hadn’t.

Me: Why do you think that is?
Him: Well, I’m not sure. Maybe it would get caught in machinery.
Me: A farmer gets up at dawn and works until sundown. Winter or summer. Daylight savings time is NOT for farmers.

He then used the argument that people get more hours of work done.
Me: Why don’t they just open their stores an hour earlier?

Some folks just can’t handle logic. Poor things.
