Admit it, today is the first time in months that your car has the correct time on it.

I learned at a very young age that you spring forward and fall back. So even as a child I wondered why I needed to lose an hour at the beginning of good weather and get it back just before bad weather. Why did I need to learn rules devised to controll daylight? So… after much expensive whiskey, or tequila shots, or hell… they may have been smoking pot, somebody in the government says listen… we need more daylight, so let’s just roll out clocks up one hour and tell everybody that it’s 6:00. 

Wait, my watch says 5:00.

We needed more daylight so we deside over a bottle of bourbon to move the clocks forward an hour.

That don’t make no sense. Why don’t you just tell me to get up an hour earlier?

Don’t be a jerk Wayne, we all thought it was a great idea last night.

So we are all going to pretend that when the chickens wake me up at 5:00 tomorrow, that it’s 6:00?

Yes.

Well there you go, just like that we picked up an extra hour of daylight. All they needed to do was roll their pocket watch up an hour. All I have to do is spend most all of the next day reseting all my electronics to reflect this new time that just fell from the sky, and wondering just how smart my phone really is. And all because nobody thought of saying… Hey, let’s just get up an hour earlier as long as the weather is nice.

Wayne, you’re just crazy. I guess that I am but my way I don’t have to reset all the electronics again this fall.
