[HCARC] End of Daylight Savings Time Tonight

[Gary J - N5BAA]

My least favorite night of the year occurs tonight.  Because society requires living by the clock for important things like appointments I just can’t ignore the clock altogether.  My sheep and dogs are lucky – to them it is just another day.  If we were serious about saving energy, we would advance the clock another hour to keep it light when people are awake and doing things – things like having it light when they come home from work.  Instead we turn back the clock, thus ensuring we use energy for lights when people come home from work.   What good is light when people are still asleep and not using it??
