Daylight Savings Time
Eclectic Edge Ensemble
Well it's that time of year again, when we fall back and enjoy that ever so needed extra hour of sleep. For me it is always a bittersweet day. Don't get me wrong, I love the extra hour we get but I miss the sun shining after work a lot more. Even as a kid I used to get sad when I would come home from after school activities and it was too dark to go play outside. Back then I always thought there were little mice that ran clocks; they somehow lived inside the clocks and turned the hands. I always wondered why they made the sun go away right before Halloween (remember back in the day, daylight savings time was before Halloween, not after). Boy, do I feel old. I just thought they were playing a fun Halloween trick on everyone. Now as a logical adult I realize that mice don't actually move the hands on all of our clocks, or secretly live inside of them. However, I have still wondered why it is we still uphold daylight savings time. Below is a short, very dry and sarcastic, view of daylight savings time that I found amusing and insightful. It gives an interesting viewpoint on whether or not daylight savings time is truly needed. In my opinion, vitamin D is amazing and I wouldn't mind it if daylight savings time somehow vanished. Maybe those sneaky little mice could run away with it! Enjoy!
