Daylight Savings Time

This is the weekend that we set our clocks back one hour for Daylight Savings Time. Last weekend I had to call my son to find out if that was the weekend that we were suppose to set them back because I could not remember. It seems that every year we do it a little later than the year before. I don't really like this ritual, but I hate getting up in the morning when it is dark, and setting the clocks back will cause it to be a little lighter at 6:30AM. Of course, that means that it will be darker at 5:00PM when I get off work, and I don't like that either. The days are definitely getting shorter and that means winter and my desire to hibernate like the bears. I guess it won't be too long and the days will start to lengthen again. I would not be very happy living in Alaska or other northern areas where they have darkness around the clock for days on end.
