I don't know about you, but I'm a little cranky about losing that hour this morning.

Seriously, why do we still need Daylight Saving Time in this day and age?

I can understand the sense of it one hundred years ago, when agriculture played a larger portion of our economy, but come on now. In this digital age, it's just annoying and makes things unnecessarily difficult. Florida is trying to make it Daylight Saving all year round now, and I think it's time for the rest of the country to join in.

Thus ends my rant about making me get up even earlier. Back to our regularly scheduled chaos.
