Absolutely perfect. Someone suggested once that we just declare DST to be Standard time and leave the clocks alone but others pointed out that school children would be walking to school or waiting for the bus in the dark. Okay, so just keep standard time and make the businesses change their working hours during the longer days. I just hate fiddling with the clocks.
Which reminds me of an Ole & Lena joke:
Ole & Lena get up for church vun Sunday morning, get dare Sunday Go-to-Meeting clothes on and yump in the Wee-8 Ford and head for da First Lut'ern Church. Vhen dey arrive da parking lot is empty.
Lena says, "Vell, vot vent wrong? Aye know I turned all da clocks ahead vun hour last night before ve vent ta bed."
Ole sits there yust looking at the horn button on da steering vheel for a minute den says, "So did I."
I grew up on a dairy farm. On DST Sunday morning we'd come in the barn, turn on the lights and the cows would still be asleep. They'd look at us and we could tell they were disgruntled. One thing about a dairy cow -- you want to keep her gruntled...
Then in the fall we'd come in and turn on the lights and they'd all be standing there, doing a little dance as if to say, "MILK ME FIRST!! MILK ME FIRST!" while milk would be running into the gutters.
I'd just as soon get up and go to bed with the chickens. Life would be simpler.
