Unless it is cured sometimes greediness grows.
Where if finally stops, alas, nobody knows;
Before very long Kermit grabbed everything
From a rusty padlock to a ball of kite string,
A broken jackknife, a pair of old shoes.
Things that a crab couldn’t possibly use.

It’s a conspiracy!!
Spring forward????
I don’t think so!!!
Instead it feels like an act of resistance by the powers that be.
Who’s brilliant idea was it anyway???
My guess is that it had something to do with greed. Business men conspired to lengthen the day so that we could have more time to spend money that we may not have, on ventures that arent really important.
It also seems like yet another way to gradually get to feel’in like springtime, with all its glory, is just around the corner, and then have the rug jerked out from under me. If you’re a morning person, like myself, that first morning after mess’in with the hands of the clock, felt like I was being told that spring needed to go back to bed, and that the extra blankets on the bed were there to stay a while longer. “The trick’s on me!!!“ When my freezing limbs begin to feel like there's a thaw in their future…they don’t appreciate it when the suns appearance is yet again delayed.
Its disheartening.
Do we really want more sunlight in the evening-where it becomes next to impossible to get kids to bed, or do we want sunlight in the morning, welcoming us to a brand new warm, glorious day??!!
Why are we mess’in with Mother Nature!!??
Thing go aray when we mess with Her!!
Did anyone else hear the news report the other day about the perplexing increase in heart attacks that occur just after the changing of the clocks? Nobody knows WhY this seems to happen, but it does. Have you personally met ANYONE who enjoys the concept of time change?
WHAT I KNOW:
I have an insatiable need for warm morning sun-NOT for more time at the mall or on a baseball diamond. My vote is for leaving the clock alone!!
Resistance may be futile, but I wont be assimilated easily.

I Totally agree!! In fact down here, I'd be thrilled if they'd move it another hour in the other direction! Hang in there!!
I would like to offer a different viewpoint. It is dark at 6:00 a.m. no matter what. If I am granted a few extra hours of daylight when I get home from work I can actually get stuff done around the house! My tendency in the winter when it is cold and dark is to simply pull on my jammies, grab a book or sit in front of the TV ‘cause the day’s pretty much over. It’s dark when I leave the house, it’s dark when I return. But in the spring and summer, I get home and there are HOURS of daylight left and I can do all those things I need to do. Sometimes that does include an errand or two. But I have never looked out the window and said, “hum, it’s light out – I should go spend money!”
