BITD, the change to Daylight Savings Time was like a national holiday for my son. That meant we could play catch after work for that much longer, and that baseball practice could go that much later. For much the same reason, he mourned to return to standard time in the fall.

Agreement again. Twice a year we have to play with all the clocks. It sucks. I wish we'd stay on standard time, then again, I'd prefer zulu for all.

Military time---24 hour clock. This a.m.-p.m. crap is what annoys me.

You'd like my car then. It has a 24 hour clock.

This morning the time went from 02:59 to 02:00

Don't make no difference, it's still 4:00 PM somewhere.

I did notice that all of the stupid birds and squirrels showed up at the feeder an hour late today. Thinking about giving the whole damn bunch their walking papers.

Yeah, I suppose you're gonna let the squirrels cross the border and take their jobs.
