Yes, it's the scariest time of the year.
It isn't because of Cher Crow.
It's not Halloween candy, because people are figuring out how to give it out safely. (We aren't going to this year, though.)
It's not Halloween weddings.
Or pumpkin people hot dog vendors that make it scary.
It's not a black and white cat taking a stroll in the park.
It's not gravestones in an old cemetery. No, it's something else. A full moon tonight, and a blue moon help. But this is what is scariest of all:
It's the transition back to Standard Time in the United States at 2am tomorrow.
Why do we do it?
Why do we complain every time it happens and then forget it until next time? It's a dangerous practice, as explained in this Scientific American article.
More and more states are wanting to have one year round time. But it can't happen without an act of Congress, meaning - it won't happen.
No matter.
Tomorrow the clocks turn back.
BOO!
Thanks for the reminder! I have to say the little reminders, "spring forward and fall back" to know what way to go. I have a sleep study tonight so that means I get to stay an extra hour? Great...
ReplyDeleteInteresting words on that tombstone.
Daylight Saving Time was easy to cope with when it ran from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. What we have now makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteIt is the scariest time of the year, but not because of Halloween. Looking forward to that blue moon tonight and hoping it is an omen.
ReplyDeleteHi Alana - I don't mind the clock change ... ours happened last weekend. But the blue moon is a fascinating anomaly for today - we're probably in the middl4e of storm clouds ... so won't see it. Love the scary crows ... take care especially tonight! Sleep tight - Hilary
ReplyDelete...I like Daylight Savings Time.
ReplyDeleteHalloween, a full moon and turning back the clocks ....but the scariest? That comes on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAt least we gain an hour. I feel more rested after this change. In the spring, not so much.
