 Can you tell by the title which side of the daylight savings time fence I sit? 

Just bring up the topic and I’ll start ranting about why we keep antiquated policies in place when they’ve outlived their purpose.  Oh, this and the electoral college.  I better switch topics before you all decide I’ve flipped my lid and quietly change pages.

At least we will have an extra hour of sunlight in the evening to enjoy! I agree with you that antiquated policies really need to be purged from our system so we can gain some efficiencies.

Bible Debt, good point about the extra hour of evening light. It’ll be nicer when we take Charger for his evening walk.

Thanks so much for the link! The time change has thrown me off. 🙁 I like it better when we gain an hour!

The time change is quite annoying ~ my kids usually sleep at 8 PM but today they were still jumping around in their room at 9 PM (which is their usual 8 PM)…
