Always like getting that extra hour of sleep.
The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Time for your nap ed.

"what dicking deep shit i produce" -- pillory
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
People are shitting themselves to death
Crap so much they fail to take a breath
But even when their kids are starvin'
They thought Trump would throw them Charmin.

The hour I save gives me just about enough time to reset all the clocks and watches in my house.

Re: What time is it?
Il n'y a pas d'heure pour les braves, common French proverbial saying going back to a completely forgotten 1823 melodrama, Les Deux Sergents.
Literally "The brave know no (particular) hour."
Usually translated with "Any time is the right time."
Usage example:
– Pyrrho, are you done yet with my Powepoint?
– Il n'y a pas d'heure pour les braves.

Measuring if—and how much—DST sucks for you
While my earlier map was interesting to explore, it leaves too much room for interpretation. You don't have time for that. Your life is too awful because of a lost hour, or a gained one. You need fast FACTS.

Re: What time is it?
The obvious solution to the question of using DST always or never, is to split the difference and set the clocks half way between. Could anyone reasonably complain if the clocks are never more than thirty minutes away from their own preference, and the reward is that no one has to fiddle with their clocks twice a year?
