It's not the "change of time" that makes me frown, it's the fact that the sun glares through my blinds at 5am.

I have a new idea on how time should work, and it goes like this:

Guy #1: What time is it?

Guy #2: Now.

Having lived in both places where daylight savings is observed, and not observed, I think it really is just an unnecessary bother.

Yeah, but argue that against the agricultural lobby.

I don't quite understand that part. Can't the farmers just get up an hour before the sun whatever arbitrary number we've decided to call that?

The most annoying thing about DST is the fact that Arizona doesn't observe it. Now, I totally get and support their not wanting to deal with clock moving bullshit, but you need to get in sync with the rest of the country. Now I have to make sure my date checking routines account for the fact that my software might be running in Arizona so I don't get things off by an hour.

It's a big country, and we need a big sleep to deal with it.

The hate mostly just happens when we lose an hour
