today is a daylight savings time day. is that what they're called? anyway, today human beings, in some places, all agree to put their clocks back one hour so they can convince themselves to get out of bed on time. then, later on in the spring, they all agree to put the clocks ahead one hour so that it's back to normal. because if they forgot to put it back each year, then each year sunrise and sunset would seem to come earlier and earlier. it would get pretty confusing after a few years.
when i was growing up, the people in the place i lived decided they didn't want to mess with their clocks twice a year. so it was easy for us. but it got confusing because half the year, tv shows would start at 7pm and then the other half of the year, they'd start at 8.
i missed some shows because of that, let me tell you.
