New Daylight Savings Dates - Thank Christ or WTF?

innerSpaceman · 03-06-2007, 07:27 PM

Now that March has arrived with 90-degree weather and scant rain has hit the ground in 2007 ... I was sure the rush to summer with a new Daylight Savings Time initiation date of March 11 was pure folly.

Yet right now, as darkness falls, and I once again feel inertia rushing through my veins and watch my enthusiam ebb for all worthy endeavors ... I'm thinking perhaps March 11 will come none too soon.

Big changes to the Daylight Savings scheme this year. Heheh, your computer may freak out about it. But Savings Time starts about six weeks earlier, and will end one week later on the other side.

I'll certainly miss how it suddenly got dark early on Halloween. And it seems absurd on its face to start the summertime time shift in early March.

But as one who has come to hate the pervasive darkness of winter ... I think earlier and earlier Daylight Savings Time is the next best thing to abolishing adherence to Greenwich time altogether.

What are your thoughts on the new rules? Messing with Mother Nature Too Much? Can't Mess with Mother Nature Any More than the Scheme Already Did? Balance All Askew Between Winter and Summer? Or Shall We Shift Time on a Daily Basis to Serve our Varied Needs?
