Time For A Change

   And, officially, most people will move their clocks ahead by an hour at 2:00 a.m Sunday, heralding the return of Daylight Saving Time.
   Except in Saskatchewan, Arizona and a few other parts of the world. We don't touch our clocks. But it's not all negative. all our favourite shows will be on an hour earlier starting Sunday. And we in Saskatchewan don't lose an hour of sleep. Then again, we don't get the extra hour of sleep in the fall, when clock are set back an hour.
   Which suits me just fine. I know all about the benefits of having an extra hour of daylight in the evening for everyone else. But since I'm up at 4:00 a.m (and need to go to bed early in the evening) that extra hour is not only a waste, but a nuisance since it sometimes prevents me from nodding off. Nothing a blackout drape won't cure.
   But then again, I've never been a fan of DST since it was brought in in Alberta way back in 1971, if memory serves.
   And in Saskatchewan, there's the debate on which time zone we would go. Mountain or Central? And since the natural dividing line of the 105th meridian basically bisects the province, I don't think we're going to be in for the "change" any "time" soon.
