Another thing I hate -- Daylight Saving Time

I have never believed that moving clocks ahead one hour contributed anything worth while.  On the other hand it is inconvenient.  DST was year-round during World War Two.  I had to milk cows in the dark and catch the school bus at 6 real time.  Some kids boarded the bus an hour earlier than that.

Some farmers were convinced that plants got too much sun. Dad told of hearing a desperate woman applying for a job at the Minden shell plant. She kept saying, "Honey, My crops are burned up. They got too hot a sun because of this new time."
