Don't forget

I'm on the other side I suppose, longer evenings are nice if you worked days. The whole thing is kind of weird when you think about it. At some point in the past, everything was, you get what you get when you get it, the weather, day&night.... at least its only 4 months or so, the rest of the 8 months is really not all that bad, snow is a melting, and there sure is a lot of it left.
 
Thanks for the reminder. I got kinda behind on my housework and have been washing dishes and listening to some old country cassettes. That along with a couple shots of Old Mill Stream had me in another dimension.
 
Yeah, Billy, Farmers never had to worry about such, they got up when they had to, and worked as long as they could, so it didn't matter to them. I like to sleep late, so I don't mind the longer daylight hours, especially in the hottest months, I can garden or mow late in the afternoon.
I have often heard it said that DST was initiated for the corporate big wigs, so they would have more time for golf after work.
 
Well, most farmers. . . Dad also had a day job when we had the dairy, and I had to go out in the pasture and get the cows in at about 4 AM, so he could get them milked before work. Daylight saving was a nightmare in the spring- cows thought they had another hour to sleep, and were a real struggle to get in. You'd no sooner get one up and going, and the one before was lying down again. Took lots of yelling and arm-waving.
