Fall Back, Time.



Where I live, here in Upstate New York, this coming Sunday 4 November at 2:00 am, it'll be time to set the clock back sixty minutes; you know, "Fall back, Spring ahead." For me, this Daylight Savings horseshit puts the pressure on and yet also takes it off all at the same time cuz the action of changing the clocks serves to remind me that we're heading into the dark, cold, shorter days of winterBut it takes the pressure off, too, since I'll be able to drag my ass out of bed in the morning at what the clock will say is 8:00 (okay, I'll actually get out of bed around 10:00 or later) but it'll actually be an hour earlier, so I'll have had an extra hour of sleep. Thing is, though, knowing I'm going to have that extra hour of sleep, I'll stay up at least an hour later cuz I'll be thinking, "Hey, I get to sleep an  hour later anyway...," so the "extra hour of sleep" is really a moot point anyway then, right?"
