I grew up just north of the 49th parallel so we were taught, in grade 2 or 3, that The spring equinox and summer solstice were on the 20th and the fall equinox and winter solstice were on the 21st. Imagine the many millions of important things I have learned and forgotten since then but I remembered that. Weird.
Well, since 8 2/3 innings went by with nothing at all happening on the field, it will give real sports fans something to talk about at the sports bar..
That time change is a simple convenience that I love and the farther north you live the better it is. I’ve lived through about 150 of them and they never fazed me for one second. No different than driving to and from BC to Alberta. Clocks change and they always will, Daylight saving or not. The earth just keeps on turning. And please don’t whine about “loosing time”. I go to bed at 10:30, loose consciousness, and wake up about 6:30. You don’t see anyone in my house screaming, “Oh Mother of God! How will I ever cope with the lose of those hours? And it worries me because I have to survive it again tonight.” The whole debate is for fools.
