Pets, and the body cannot be fooled by this twice-a-year illusion. Changing the clocks is stupid.

The only way congress will act on this to eliminate it, is if they’re suddenly convinced that the change is adversely affecting POCS, women, native Americans or LGBTxyz.

To: I want the USA back

At least this is a fun and harmless subject.

To this point, I notice that no one mentions the hundreds of years that great minds meticulously worked on the accuracy of clocks, trying to make clocks that would never have to be adjusted. Different escapements and complications that told a bewildering variation in time-related data to the interested owner.

When in doubt, a ship at sea could use a telescope to look at the moons of Jupiter and set its clock accordingly.

Now, generations of morons change batteries more frequently than Pythagoras did his underwear. Every stupid electronic device you get has a clock and none of them agree. My family has a couple of “atomic” clocks that can be made to self adjust to the time change, if you are willing to pull out your hair to set them up. Even after all this, these clocks never agree and the batteries still die so that you can do this all over again.

I am currently adding solar power to the house and, of course, the Sun doesn’t care about the time change. The dogs don’t care. It will be weeks for me noticing that clocks are now “wrong” so I can fiddle with them.

Some day, I expect I’ll just ignore the change. It’s better to be retired.

I think I sound like Joe Biden. ;-)
