As some geographic regions have the stupid biannual "daylight savings time" coming up in a week, and we dread how dark it will be in the mornings...

I'd like to make note of my observation this morning at quarter to seven it looked as dark as 5:30am, even a week before the clocks change, which I found interesting,

so we can't entirely blame the shitty darkness on our shitty government-mandated clock changes. It's just a matter of where the earth is in relation to the sun at any given time of year.

When we change our clocks next week, technically the winter clocks are the astronomically accurate time, and we've been lying to ourselves all summer, though I'm still not sure why.

Everyone hates changing the clocks and for at least three decades citizens have been imploring the govt to stop the practice, but you know how slow the government is to change any standardized thing. Decades & decades of slowness & stupidity.

As slow as if USA ever comes to its senses & adopts the metric system.
