Blog Challenge: 7/25 - Spring Forward

I always forget about daylight savings time. Before I owned devices that update themselves automatically I would just have to show up early or late for a few days before I figured out what was going on.

I'm still not sure why we bother - I suppose more sunlight during the latter part of the day is nice, but what else do we get. Here are some possible benefits:

-Ensure that people who really love their routine are inconvenienced at least twice a year

-Give digital watch owners one more reason to feel supperior to their analog nemesi

-Mess with the heads of pets who had been figuring out when you wake up to feed them based on the amount of daylight

-Let those weirdos down in Arizona have their little rebellion
