Daylight Savings Time. That incredibly inconvenient occurrence each spring and fall (do we go back, or forward?) where suddenly, for a few weeks, everybody in the world is out of sync and mass confusion ensues because not every country, or even every province, changes time on the same date. Computers are off. VCR’s are off (yes, I am of that generation). And the most depressing: that nasty event where all of a sudden you leave your place of work at the end of your day and it’s pitch dark out.

And for what? To save money?

In this cooling climate, it has now been shown that Daylight Savings Time actually COSTS money, since the power consumption is shifted from lights to heating. (I suddenly have a mental picture of Dion waving his arms in the air saying “cut… lights… shift… to… heating”).

Isn’t it time to stop this foolishness, and just keep our regular time all year ’round?
