"But you get an extra hour of sleep!" It's all I hear! Don't those peple realize what is coming? people everywhere, all a twitter over what? an extra hour of sleep! Haven't we been warned over and over again in scripture NOT to be caught sleeping? Yes, but do they care, no, they are selling their soul for an extra hour of sleep!
Have they forgotten what is to follow? Dark!!! Yep, as I gaze out my window at precisely, 4:26 pm the shadows of darkness are already creeping in. By 5:15 it will be black out there. Black when we get out of swimming, black when we get out of bed!
Did these same people pay no heed to the vikings, who in desperation threw a wheel onto the fire then rolled it flaming down the hill; all to tempt the sun to come back! Or maybe we should think of all of the cultures who built their dwellings facing the sun....there was a reason. How about those in the middle east who kept fires burning brightly to help the sun battle the evil darkness.
Do not they realize that with that extra hour of sleep comes, ugh, dare I say it, WINTER! (Okay all of you who live north of me can laugh but there is a reason I settled way below the mason dixon line!). Dont try to tempt me with all thise fluffy thoughts of winter like, sweaters, hot chocoalte and fires....it's all a ruse to try to hide the fact that winter is well, cold and dark.
I'm not buying it people. I will NOT go silently into that good night. i will shout it out.... bring back day light savings time!
