Daylight Savings Time

This Sunday morning, an hour of our time was lost. However, benefits heavily outweigh the cost. An hour later comes the darkness of the night. That way, we use less electricity for light. We have another hour of sunlight in our day. It's more convenient for us if we work or play. We will get that hour back in the fall. An extra hour of sleep will be great for us all.

I like your positive perspective on daylight savings time. I am enjoying the afternoons to get some exercise in.

I like the longer days in the summer, and dislike the shorter ones in the winter. I'd rather they just leave things alone... Oh, well. So much for my druthers! :) gw

Nice rhyme, Robert. I've never been convinced of the efficacy of DST, but I guess it has its pros and cons. Right now, Sunday evening, I have no idea what time it is! I did realize I was tired this afternoon and took a two hour nap, which probably further confused my inner clock. Help!
