Speaking of Rocky Horror, this Sunday for most US (and Canadian? I don't know) residents is when we do the Time Warp again.

In other words, it's the end of Daylight Saving Time.

Let's all jump to the left at precisely 2 a.m.

I love clocks, and most of mine, including my watch, need to be set manually. I love clocks so much, there are at least two in every room!

Of course here in the UK we jumped backwards last Sunday.

Which has made getting pics and videos of all the US trains annoying as they all seem to be arriving and departing and hour earlier!!

This is a good thing it is getting to be daylight to late in the day. Sunrise at 7:46 is too late in the day for me.

I personally hate DST. Messes with my bodyclock and throws off treat time for the Granimals too.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

I think I'd rather go to work in the dark than go home in the dark. But how about we compromise: change it 30 minutes and leave it there.

I can't move to either place, I'd be lucky if I could buy a place near My relatives, maybe one day that could happen. But for that to happen one of My cousins would have to leave Me about $150,000.00, He'd said to Me, that "He was going to send something to Me", just not what or when, since I'd given Him My complete address and phone number, He's 82 now, so who knows? It may or may not happen. Until then I'll be here, not going anywhere.

The whole idea with Daylight Saving Hours are crazy.
Especially if you live near the Arctic circle or above.
Even if you are not there is NO proofs that it have some benefits, economical or medical.
A fact though is that there are many people dying (cardiac arrest) the first week in the first month in the spring changing the clock.

You couldn't, nah you'd have to be in BC, then you'd be unreachable, except by Tardis. ;)

Any move I make will be about 55 miles from where I live at now, maybe if I get an inheritance and it's large enough, otherwise I'm stuck out here I think...
