Am I the only one who hates Daylight Savings Time? And no need to tell me to move to AZ because I was born there and lived there until I was 24.
I call it Pretend Time. I just cannot understand the whole thing. The sun will set later in the summer regardless of our clock manipulation. 8:00 isn’t late enough for you for the day to end? We have to push it to 9:00, and for what?
I have to get up at 5 am, and I can’t freaking stand that it is still light out when it is time to go to sleep. People need darkness as much as they need light. And they need it before bedtime because that’s how the sleep process works. It is just not natural to try to block out all the light in the windows to simulate nighttime.
I say again: the summer days are already longer! Why do we have to mess with them? I will never understand. I guess I have already had enough sun from growing up in Phoenix. I prefer shade, cloudy days, snow, rain, and nighttime. I just don’t understand the sun worshipers.
O’Dark Thirty bump.
You are my ‘standard time hero’! (and you’re Coast Guard!) I hate DST too!

Sir, you are NOT alone. I can’t stand the time change crap either.
Carry on.
