Why do we spring ahead and fall back?

What do people in Sask know that we don't?

If time can be minupulated every 6 months why don't we show up for work whenever we want ( ie late ) and simply move the time on the punch clock .

I don't know. We call it Daylight Savings here ... and I've always wondered if we are saving it, where does it go?

We switched first weekend in October - my home immediately warmed up. Which given the diabolical winter electricity bill I got, is a very good thing!

This started long ago and was introduced by Benjamin Franklin as a way to take advantage of daylight hours. We consume less electricity (lights, TV etc) if the sun is out later in the day.

Don't like. Can't stand it. Wish "they" would leave time alone.

Also, it seems a bit politically incorrect now that we live in a 'global community.' The whole world does not practice "Daylight Savings Time." Where I live, we have more 'usable' daylight hours now that we are "off" DST. Go figure!

And, where I live, we didn't have to turn the lights on until 6 or 6:30, now we have to turn on the lights when it's 5 or 5:30. This is what I grew up with, so, I have no issue with it. Just part of life
