We're saving energy, and its for the children. The government always has our best interests in mind.

With that said (at a cost of great pain and angst), I hate the bi-annual time changes. Totally senseless.

Hey!
You gotta be reminded to change your smoke detector batteries somehow.
Yes?

Every smoke detector I've ever owned lets you know when the battery is low. Usually in the middle of the night.

Thanks for reminding me! My first clue was the pack of 9 volt batteries my wife left on the counter next to the coffee maker.

I'm tall enough to change the batteries in those things without a ladder, although I have to stand on my tippie-toes. Ladders that are lower to the ground than my knee-caps frighten me ...

If you guys ever stop by the house, remind me to hand you a crash helmet at the door, or you could wheel around in one of the wheelchairs...
hanging out in our kitchen could result in personal injury or death for anyone taller than 5'10".
As short people, we found all that empty space up there, around the ceiling, very convenient.


I must be one of the only people who appreciates the time changes... even though I've evolved into a morning person.

Now, if some of the hours of wasted sunlight could be withdrawn from the beginning and added to the end of the day, how many advantages would be gained by all, and in particular by those who spend in the open air, when light permits them to do so, whatever time they have at their command after the duties of the day have been discharged.

...

Light is one of the great gifts of the Creator. While daylight surrounds us, cheerfulness reigns, anxieties press less heavily, and courage is bred for the struggle of life. Against our ever-besieging enemy, disease, light and fresh air act as guards in our defence, and when the conflict is close, supply us with most effective weapons with which to overcome the invader. Even the blind keenly realise the difference between daylight and darkness. They are always cheered by the former, but depressed by the latter.

From The Waste of Daylight by William Willett (London, 1907).

I wanna see some cheerfulness, dammit!

Tax it or outlaw it -- those are the only choices!
