Wow, I should’ve proofed that better before hitting submit. Many typos! Including Waling instead of WALKING!

The result was that we were waling to school in the morning in the dark. It was not great at all. I know the end of day darkness is bad, but it is also bad at the beginning of the day. Fact is, due to physics, we have less hours of daylight in the winter and we have to figure out a way that makes it the least bad for the most people. At least where I live, Boston area, when we go change back to standard time, kids walking to school have light in the morning and also when they walk home (our town school hours are 8:15-3pm, so it is light at start and finish). I can not thingk of a way to make e I work for all without changing the way the earth tilts and rotates around the sun!

But if we didn’t jack with the clocks, you wouldn’t be tired. It would be the cycle of the natural year, the way NATURE intended. not the fake way man tried to rig it to make us more productive or save energy. It is BAD for us. Soooooo many studies have proven it is bad. It is the going back and forth, strange as it sounds that wreaks havoc on our bodies and minds.

It is where it is supposed to be now and then the days naturally get longer with the spring and summer. You saved me having to type it. Thank you. I HATE time changes and it is so unhealthy for humans. Why oh why can the powers that be not see that? Studies show that productivity is not increased and power is not saved with DST.

It messes me up twice a year. Last Spring I never got used to it and kept waking up at 5:30 am instead of 6:30. Now I’m wrecked again and I’m hungry at the wrong times….it’s like having jet lag!

I grew up in a farming community and I believe farmers work is done according to when the sun comes up and now they work after dark because those big machines come with very bright headlights! So exactly who does this time change benefit??? Maybe if we all agree to send letters to
Congress or somebody in DC who can change this we will get noticed! By the way, Igo to bed earlier and sleep later and that’s is how I deal with time change!! But I’m retired and our puppy lets me sleep in!! Loved your post!

I don’t know one person that’s FOR the time change. It screws up our lives for a month in the fall and when we just get used to it, the time changes again and our lives are screwed up for another month. I’m for a march.

And it’s a farming province. I grew up on a farm in Ontario, and the time change did NOTHING for the farmers. It is completely useless. I do love living in a province where we do not have to deal with that nonsense.
