Oh, I am still feeling that loss of an hour and having difficulty going to bed (seemingly) earlier than normal.
I will adjust but it is hard. I am one STRONGLY influenced by biorhythms.

a 20 mile bike ride. Sping has spung, the forcythia are getting green. The Canada geese are starting to nest and I have been seeing some buzzards heading north. The buzzards show up in Hinkley Ohio every year on or about March 15th. I was able get some work done outside. I look forward for DST every year.

... this time change nonsense is one of the stupidest ideas ever perpetrated. Accident rates climb, and productivity plummets until people adjust. Animals don't care, other than their feeding schedule gets bumped an hour in either direction, depending on whether it's spring of fall. They adjust better than we do. Clocks mean nothing to their circadian rhythms. They adapt to changes in the length of the day.
I've heard every ridiculous excuse there is to try to justify it. Sorry, but no; there's not the remotest possibility that I'll ever believe there's a valid reason for it.

time. I just feel better when I can get another hour of daylight. Winter is just depressing everything is drab and grey and it gets dark at 4:30. I would be happy is DST was year around.
