Back to this “springing forward” of the clocks. I really don’t appreciate it. Does Congress not realize how busy we Americans are these day? Can we really afford to lose an hour? I can’t. I’ve got a lot going on – trips to Little Rock for work, planning the University’s 100th birthday party (the BIGGEST party in a century), leaving for a five-day conference in Oklahoma City only two days after the party – and I don’t think it will ever end. I NEED THAT HOUR!!

I wonder what would happen if, say, you moved from the Central Time Zone to the PacificTime Zone on the night of the springing forward. Would you essentially fool the system and not only gain back your stolen hour but get an extra one, too? Maybe I need to stop thinking about this stuff so much.

While watching the news tonight (KATV, of course), I was reminded why we do this whole Daylight Savings Time thing. Congress thinks we save energy by messing with time. There are still just as many hours of daylight as there are if we didn’t switch. I think it’s all a bunch of bull.

Now on to something more productive – sleep (I hope).
