Current Weather In Indianapolis: Cold with an icy rain Temp: 38 F (3 C)
I just hate Winter. It is so cold and gloomy here in Indiana right now. I just hate it.
And I just had a brain fart.
I was sitting here wondering why we change our clocks? For more than 30 years, we didn't change our clocks in Indiana. Well, there were a few western counties that changed them. But for the most part, Indiana didn't change their clocks. It had something to do with the farmers they said.
But this year we started to change them again. My dog and I watched some kids get off the bus in the dark today while we were sitting in the rain <very long story>. But I don't understand it. If we change our clocks to conserve daylight, then why are the kids getting off the school bus in the dark? And it is not even December yet! It's only going to get worse. And what in the world do the farmers have to do with this?
We do some very strange things in this country. We do some VERY strange things.... like change our clocks so the kids can get off the school bus in the dark.
I think I liked it better the old way, when we never fooled around with the clocks. I feel sorry for those poor kids getting off the school bus in the dark when an icy rain is falling.
When I lived in Evansville we changed our clocks. They were on Central time there. I was so glad to get back to Indianapolis. Now we're doing it here too.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
