For me the question is, why to we still do the yearly time two steep. I can see no practical reason, aside from aggravation, to continue to do this. There are enough annoyances without this.
None of the explanations that are put forward make very much sense such as making the most of the brighter evenings or saving in energy, there was once an argument that it was useful to northern farmers, that was quashed when the northern farmers said that the time doesn't matter, they get up when it is light and go to bed when they are knackered.
I do not know the answer, but I know it is a problem for many to adjust. I wanted to experiment and see if it made a difference to get ahead of the change rather than waiting until Sunday morning.
It's Dogwood Winter here. I am fine with it. I do not like Summer temps before Spring. Maybe the freeze will slow the bugs down.The high temp yesterday was 91F; tonight we are expecting a freeze.
I love that grass! Beautiful plumes.
we've been saying "lousy Smarch weather"... an old The Simpsons joke...The high temp yesterday was 91F; tonight we are expecting a freeze.
Fickle eh?
Have you tried doing it yourself? I took the plunge a few years ago and am glad I did. Frankly, ease of clipping is the only advantage to losing my hair
One of Gayle’s last gifts to me was a Wahl rechargeable clipper. I work through a few combs every three weeks or so. It’s really simple to do, and it saves me 40 bucks a pop.Fickle schmickle, I can't hold a clipper well enough to do it myself. I gave up using straight razors some time ago because I am loosing feeling in my hands. Getting old ain't for the faint of heart.
Here in the UK, the weather is really mild for this time of year and people are walking around dressed like it’s summer which to be fair is what it feels like and I live in the North West. I’m sure it’s even warmer down South.
