good morning all

hate it!!! BUT, my small dog never adjusted her meal time to standard time. Maybe now she'll quit starting to beg for food at 3 in the afternoon! We can set out clocks by her! Guess when you only weigh 5# you don't have much in reserve. AnnieR

God DST sucks. If they changed the clocks April 20th I wouldn't mind so much. Doesn't save any energy either by all the studies done.

My family owned a dairy farm for many years. The cows were milked every 12 hours regardless of what the government decided was the correct time. I recall my one uncle squawking about how DST was supposed to help the farmers. Was nothing but a PITA for him. The truck and feed store schedules would move when the milking schedule didn't. :P

I grew up with SW Nebraska where the farmers were most of the economy. Though I was a "city" kid, I thought Daylight Savings was silly when the government explained that it was being put into effect to "help" the farmers. (Obviously I go way back.) All the farmers I knew got up with or before the sun and worked until dark.
