... 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.
