In the morning or the evening? Choose one. What is the problem, at least if you have street lights.

Down South, what are street lights? If there are street lights, they are in the city. On the outskirts, where kids are concentrated, if there are streetlights, they are spaced too far apart. In rural areas, and in the country, there are NONE. The roads are so dark, that if your car lights go out, you're in a ditch. If you are walking on the street, you walk by FEEL. Since you are living so far out, your bus begins very early in the morning, if the bus driver lives in your area(and they do) in order to collect all kids in time to get them to school. It was dangerous thirty years ago, even before perverts began kidnapping kids. Now kids have to worry about two types of hit and run.

Things are a bit different down South, USA.

Unphuckingacceptable.

The only time UFO's are spotted, are when they have to turn on all of their lights to land at night, in the country.

Either light it up, or crash!

It gets so dark down South, that traffic lights are blinding.

It gets so dark down South, that map directions state "turn right at ditch."

It gets so dark down South, that you set your neighbor's house afire so you can find your keyhole.

It's gets so dark down South that Sirius gets lost.

It gets so dark down South that when boys pee outside, their shoes get soaked.

It gets so dark down South, that lightning bugs burn themselves out trying to navigate.

It gets so dark down South, that you fall off of the front porch trying to kiss your gf good night.

It gets so dark down South, that teenagers end up putting the condom on their big toe.

It gets so dark at night down South, that most automobile accidents occur in front yards, trying to back out of the driveway.

It gets so dark down South, that same sex unions happen by mistake.

It gets so dark down South, that the boogey man gets scared.

It gets so dark down South, that Motel 6 promises...
"We'll leave the light on for you."
Well somebody sure as hell better!
Or you'll drive into the phucking ocean!

It gets so dark down south that even Chuck Norris carries a torch.

I'm with the third option.

We need it here. Aberdeen barely gets five-six hours of good daylight during winter whilst in summer it doesn't get truly dark at night.

Respectfully, what I think I am seeing here is lots of people are OK with government again sticking their long stinky noses into aspects of our daily lives where they have absolutely no business whatever doing.

I mean next thing govmt will want to do is make us get driver's licenses when we are suppossed to have the right of liberty ... which means movement. Or tags ... or insurance ... or licence plates on vehicles. HB of CJ.

Still over sleeping a week and a half later.

One fine early spring morning he got a phone call at about 7:10 am. "Hello." "Are you coming to work today?" "Well, yeah, I thought about it ...why?" "Because you are about 10 minutes late!"

"Look at your alarm clock time you dummy!" So he did. "Duhh, it reads 0710 hours ... so what". "No dummy, you forgot to set forward your clock." "It is 0810 hrs and YOU ARE LATE FOR SHIFT!"

"Ah fecal material!!" the young dumb man said. "I did it again". And he did. It still took about 30 to 40 minutes for this dummy to get to Engine 5. The Captain was not happy. The end. All true.

Computers and smartphones automatically correct for daylight savings. Alarm clocks are being replaced by alarm apps. See http://cdn-media-2.lifehack.org/wp-cont ... xtreme.png

That excuse doesn't fly anymore for getting an extra hour in bed.

Unless you're quick witted and tech savvy...

You gotta know when and how to feign ignorance.
