So, daylight saving time change was this morning.  You should have set your clocks back an hour.  I'm certain some of you will show up an hour early for something later today.

The car accident rate for the Monday after the fall daylight saving time change is typically the lowest of the year. The spring daylight saving change, when you lose an hour, is typically the highest.  Guess folks are rushing to get to work in the spring and taking their time in the fall.

Anyway, I missed a field trip when I was a litte kid because of the time change.  What a stupid idea I thought, and why didn't anyone tell me?  So now, OCD and all, I'm one of these guys who has to check every single clock in the house and car to make sure they're on the correct time.  My main clock is an atomic clock which gets a continuously updated time signal throughout the day and changes automatically in the spring and fall.

The field trip I missed was to see some very new and very old trains at the main train station in the area.  I was the only one who didn't go The next day some of the kids told me they were able to pull on the train horn handle. They all got bags of goodies with small toy trains. The teachers didn't think to pick up a bag for me.

In the U.S., Benjamin Franklin was the first guy in government to propose we have daylight saving time changes. 

I like trains a lot.  I don't like daylight saving time.

Fuck Benjamin Franklin!

I'm going to go out to the back yard now and stomp on some snails . . .

This morning my phone alarm went off at 7:30 (According to my alarm clock), which confused me, since my phone alarm is set to 8:30. I ended up falling back asleep. Later on, i checked my phone, and it was an hour ahead of the alarm clock (which, unknown to me, set itself an hour back during the night). I assumed the phone time was right, since it shoulda been updated. Turns out, the phone didnt update, my clock did, I feel retarded.

That was a good 30 seconds of your time wasted.

See, that's exactly what I mean.  There will be more throughout the day.

After I changed my clocks I went to a retirement home and started punching old people in the throat and the stomach.  Then I rounded up a bunch of squirrels and punted them off a cliff.  This is how I usually deal with daylight savings.
POOPS HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Once a year my family's store has to count everything we have in stock. To do this we wake up extra early, like 6-ish and start counting all the shit.

So anyway, i woke up and almost punched a hole in the wall when I realized that I wasnt going to get that extra sleep I had been planning on getting from the time change.
