With Daylight Savings once again coming up, it never fails for it to spark discussions about its purpose in modern times. People hate it widely while few seem to be okay with it and depending where you live, others don’t even know what the deal is.
Politicians have actually put it on the docket to be voted on, but seems to have lost traction. Quite frankly, this is an issue that should be done and over with. Just end it, but please end it when we have the clocks dialed back than forward, because I wouldn’t like time going faster than it already is.
Yeah, you really expected me at age 7 to walk a quarter mile in the dark to get to my bus stop, when I didn’t even know how to tell time until age 9?
Or vice versa, adjust the school schedule by an hour, I still didn’t yet know how to tell time yet.
Somehow Arizona and Hawai’i have figured out how to make it work.
…you couldn’t tell time before 9?
No, I was born half blind as a bat, and nobody would let me get close enough to see anything up close.
My vision is about 20/500 without glasses, meaning that if I should be able to see it from 500 feet, I have to be 20 feet away to see it. Very very blurry without glasses.
I finally got glasses at age 8, and finally saw a clock at age 9. I had to teach myself how to read it though, but that was kinda easy once I could actually see the damn thing! 🕘
