It's still broad daylight. 6 p.m.
Did they move the sun or something?
It's usually dark by now.
Weird.

1. I blame global warming. It's freaky here too.
The radio says it's 75 degrees here in Houston, but I'm like freezing in here. What's up with that?

4. Time change? They changed the time?
How can they DO that?
Are we still on hours and minutes?
Or did we go metric?
Did the EU have anything to do with this?

7. They WHAT?
Did we vote on this?
I don't remember voting on this.
And how is this 'normal'?
Did they rotate the earth on it's axis?
Did they move the sun?

How the hell am I gonna keep a dentist's appointment if they keep pullin' this kinda crap?
I ask you?
Durn.

9. Well see, when it happens you have to physically change the time on your clocks.
In the spring you move the clocks forward an hour, and in the fall you move them back an hour.

Easy saying to remember this when it happens.

Spring forward in the spring, and fall back in the fall.

Most calendars sold have when it is, it happens at 2 AM Sunday morning. It happened this year on Sunday March 9th.

11. I think you're messin' with me.
When did they start doin' this?
I saw somethin' about DST, but I thought they were talkin' about somethin' like Dildo Soothing Time or somethin'.
Buncha hippies or somethin'.
Freaks.

14. Those two changes do count toward having to change the Flux capacitor filter.
So remember that.
