Boy, I hate daylight savings time for a ton of reasons.
I hate getting up at 2 am sunday morning to change the batteries in my smoke detector. Oh, yes, if you try to change them early, or late, they detect that. And call the fire department.
Since I've saved time all summer long, do you think the government will give me credit for it?
Spring ahead, fall back. Now I have to remember a nursery rhyme to tell the time. This is dumb. Well not as dumb as "twinkle , twinkle, little star, now I wonder what time you are".
My dog Crystal hates daylight savings time in the spring because she has to wait an extra hour for her dinner.
I suppose I have to change batteries in my clocks, too. This is a holiday made by Duracell.
If Hallmark had anything to do with it, we would be buying cards 2 more times a year.
Hell, if kids had anything to do with it, we would be exchanging presents. I can see it now, Father time bringing new smoke detectors (batteries NOT included).
Well, it is 10 minutes before 2 am, it will take me 10 minutes to get the batteries out of the bullet proof containers they come in.
I just discovered that my smoke detectors are powered by the house electricity. I could still be asleep. Oh well, I'll change the clocks anyway.
O wait, siince I'm up anyway .....
FOOLISH MORTALS! You should rise up and free yourselves from the tyranny of DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! Move to an island where the residents never change their clocks.
EVER!!
'course, they never bother to look at clocks, much less subject themselves to time, so it kinda goes hand in hand..

An hour later it was 2 AM again and I had to set it back a second time.
Then it happened again..I'm locked in a loop.
