Standard Time

What did you do with your extra hour?? Squeeze in another hour of sleep? Me, I got to work through mine.

Seems to me that the switch between Daylight Saving Time and Standard was originated to benefit the farming community.... (?) Are there continuing substantial benefits for modern business, industry and us urban dwellers? Personally I don't care for the onset of evening to be at 5 p.m. and I get thrown off for the first week while I adjust.

There was in item on the news about how there are increases in accidents and heart attacks each year at this time. Be careful out there people!

Maybe they should consider a name change to dress it up a bit. I mean Standard is pretty boring, doncha think? Special? Extra-Special? Especially Special Time? Get Out The Woolies Time? Wake Me Come Springtime Time??
