We in the US turned our clocks back from Daylight Saving Time yesterday. Frankly I think that humans pretending that they can control time is pretty arrogant. We can change clocks, but that does not affect anything but our own sense of importance. Try explaining to your cat or dog why their stomachs say it’s 5pm dinner time, but our clocks say it’s only 4pm.
I mean—instead of fooling around with time-keeping devices, we
could just have “winter hours”; schools and offices start the day an hour later
between November and March, if you’re concerned about morning commutes in the
dark.
But, hey, I’m not in charge of these things. So instead, I’m so
grateful that I got that hour of sleep I lost last March.
