We Never Set the Clocks Forward

Y'know what? We never set the clocks forward this Spring.

In years past, I've done this on my truck. This year we went all-in. We keep saying, this is silly, we should adjust the clocks. But we haven't.

Oh, sure, the computers and cells all advanced themselves automatically. But the mantle clock, the microwave, the coffee maker, the clocks in the cars, all the ones that would have to be hand-re-set? They're still on Central Standard Time.

For me, while DST is in effect, the morning thread goes up (sometimes) around 4am.

Some observations from this experiment:

Milady and I have to go through mental and verbal gyrations every time one even asks the other, what time is it: "It's Noon, sun time."

To go from home to town is to drive into another time zone.

Have to remind visitors who need to leave by a certain time that our clocks are "wrong."

We have to remember that even though our clock says it's almost 8pm, liquor stores in Oklahoma are about to close because they think it's 9.

Mind games lonely old 'retired' pharts can play? Yeah. But, if one household does it, we're kooks. If two households do it, we're a club. But if three! if three households quit changing over to DST, it's a Movement.

The Daylight Saving Time Resistance Movement wants homes and businesses to join us in defeating this diabolical violation of true timekeeping, by simply adhering to God's Time (as adjusted locally for time zone continuity). "This Business Keeps Standard Time" window posters available from the DSTRM CafePress shop.

By next year, this could be viral!

Or maybe Milady and I will just reset our clocks.
