I went to Mass then off to Wally World. Get back home and both the cat and dog demanded me time... Plus I needed a small nap after wandering Wally World... Just ain't enough time in a day and then they go and steal an hour from us...
I really could go on and on and on about daylight savings time. I don't know what the official original reason was for instituting it, but I think it was some kind of energy scheme, working later with less use of lighting. Some places don't observe it, even in the US, but if it helps at one end, it hurts at the other end of the day. Either kids are walking to school in the dark, or your circadian rhythm goes off the deep end when it's bright and sunny at 9 o'clock at night. Government is after us for carbon taxes and energy use. I'm paying whatever the hell I'm paying to gas up my car, while the yardtards wield the leafblowers on either side of me and across the street.
In Denmark the shops close at 6pm. On Sundays most of them open noon to 4pm, if at all. Grocery store hours are a little later.
I don't know why we have 24 hour grocery stores with the lights blaring and people on duty. I remember when you started having 24 hour groceries in Dallas. Any time I was in one late at night, it felt like I was the only one there. If you want to tell me it creates jobs, I'm saying we're bringing people in through the open border because of the excuse we don't have enough workers, and Social Security has already been robbed, so they'll say we don't have enough workers to fund it, at whatever point they decide to cut it in half or cut it off.
Anyway, there are fewer daylight hours in winter, more daylight hours in summer, so trying to rob them from the other end of the day is insanity. But this world seems to run on insanity.
I guess that's several rants all rolled into one.
Sorry.
