That is the best about time when one is retired...there is no real time unless one has to venture out into the working world for an appointment. We eat and sleep and work as we wish.

I wonder the same thing about day light savings, what is the point really? I like it when the sun stays up till 9pm

Sounds like you're referring to the old Chicago song when they sang "Does anybody really know what time it is?" Yeah, I believe that at one time, Day-Light Savings had something to do with farming, but probably no longer applies in this modern world. But I guess, out of "habit," we continue to "Spring ahead & Fall back!" Whatever . . .

Daylight Savings time was to give us longer evenings to enjoy
hide and seek and kick the can before we had to come in. Standard time clicks in so kids don't have to wait for the schoolbus while it's still dark outside. Neither of these constructs actually change time, which is always and eternally now. The changing light and shadow is the result of cosmic shifts in the now.

Well our clocks shift one hour this weekend I think it used to be to let the farmers get their cows in for milking in the light. Sadly I only see houses, no glow of anticipation.

I, too, wonder if DST is still necessary.

Re: Adnohr,
I remember a night gazing at the stars... the first time I realized, our little planet is in the midst of them... we aren't looking up at them, we are looking out at the ones in front of us, and there are just as many behind us!

LOL - I have those kind of thoughts when I lie on my back and look up at the sky, watching clouds, or the moon...or staring out over an ocean....pretty awesome.
