I crave sunshine. I think one of the main reasons that I don't like winter as much as some is because of the shorter days, cloudiness and the lack of sunshine. I don't like the short days we now have because of daylight savings time.
Who the heck decided we had to have daylight savings time anyway. I don't like it. I don't like to have it dark at 4:00 in the afternoon and dark at 6:00 in the morning. What IDIOT decided to do this!?!?!?!
I bet it has something to do with the light bulb industry. They want us to burn more bulbs, so hence they lobbied to get the hours shortened in the winter so we would have lights on longer, which means that they burn out quicker, and then we have to buy more, which burn longer, burn out quicker and then we have to buy more bulbs...... It becomes a vicious circle in which the only winner is the light bulb manufactors.
But I fooled them. I went to the store and got those new florescent bulbs that burn longer. HA, HA and HA! Now let them make a profit on me. I don't think so. Score one for the little gal.
Yes, I know that this won't make a dent in their cash flow, but it does make me feel better, and besides I am also helping the environment by not using so much energy, which means that it must balance somehow with all of the other energy I waste (computer, cell phone, TV......) on other appliances.
So, if it ever comes to a vote....I will vote against daylight savings time. A vote for the sun is a vote for Mother Nature...and we all want to really keep her happy, so she won't send a hugh snow storm our way.
So until next time, read a book, make love, and eat chocolate..... and also buy new florescent bulbs and stick it to the Man!!!
