Fall Back

11/6/2016

If I were the arbiter of all things, I would abolish Day Light Savings. The one extra hour we "gain" when we turn the clocks back each fall makes my church job a little easier for that one day, but does not make up for the week of fatigue and disorientation that follows, nor the seemingly unending period of darkness. Those cold months are hard enough without the sun setting at 4:00 p.m. How is one to stay motivated to do anything at all besides watch Netflix and drink hot chocolate?

Of course if I were the arbiter of all things, I'm fairly certain that Day Light Savings would not be on the top of my list of things to change. There are some more pressing issues (see: world hunger, cancer, 2016 US election politics) to which I'd probably attend. But surely come "Spring Forward" I would be reminded of this time change nonsense and put an end to all that noise.

Ah, to be the arbiter of all things...
