That's funny. First you turn the clock 150 years back and then you
turn it one hour forward.

If I remember correctly the original springing forward with
the clocks was supposed to help farmers get their crops to
the railroad shipping centers.  I'm guessing this gave them
more time in the fields and loading, driving, and unloading
their produce.  It seems a bit out of whack now as everything
is shipped to the loading docks by 18-wheelers but maybe the
extra daylight does give them more time in the fields.

As far as I can figure, there are the same number of hours of sunlight
whether you are on standard time or daylight saving.  Rather than
changing the clocks and dealing with shift workers having to work an
extra hour or getting a free on and all the other nonsense we could just
adjust business hours. My dentist does that. He has summer hours,
starting at 7 am instead of 9, so his staff gets off earlier and can
enjoy some extra sunlight.

I'm happy that we don't have any of that time shifting business. We're
so close to the equator that it's not needed. We should just shift the
tilt of the earth to make every day in every location on the planet
exactly 12 hours. Yeah, that's the ticket. Well, that's what I'd do if I
was God.
