Takes me about 15 minutes to reset my clocks. Who can I sue?

I have to be at work at a certain time (early AM and I am *not* a
morning person). Resetting my internal clock isn't so easy.

Why do we continue with this stupid Daylight Savings time anyway?
Tradition? Let's just pick a time and stick with it. I don't care
which, Greenwich - DST - or the half hour in-between and STAY WITH IT
for a change. How hard is that?

Now that I think about it we went on a fishing trip with an uncle on
my father's side when I was maybe 13. We were on Lake Sally
somewhere in Minnesota (I think it was Minnesota... maybe
Wisconsin). Anyway, none of us kids had the slightest interest in
fishing and we were in the middle of nowhere. We rented a ski boat
and mostly spent the week on it. However, the uncle insisted we all
go fishing with him one day. It was fun but I almost got pulled off
the boat by a fish I caught which was immediately thrown back by
uncle. He called it a gar fish. Had a big snout and looked meaner
than a snake. He said they were inedible. Anyone heard of a "gar"?

We've got them here in Missouri. You could eat them - they're not
poisonous or anything - but it'd be much more work than it's worth.

Yeah, I think that's what I heard? Aren't they full of bones?

The alligator gar is positively plump compared to the other type of
garfish I saw in google images.

LOL. I have some friends in Perth... You guys in Oz have
a few time zones of your own too. That's what happens
when you live in a country that's actually a continent

Heard some talk about introducing DST here lately. I hope
not. I am confused enough as it is...

It's still a PITA and absolutely unnecessary.

I have an atomic watch laying around here somewhere that acquires the time
from the atomic clock in Colorado. Accurate to within a second over
30,000,000 years or something (I should live so long!). Only problem was I
couldn't set it 10 minutes ahead to arrive at appointments ahead of time!
So I'm always late!!! Even for Cheerios! (OB)
