When told the reason for daylight
savings time the Old Indian said,
"Only the Government would believe
that you could cut a foot off the
top of a blanket, sew it to the
bottom, and have a longer blanket."
Pickles doesn't get it either.
"Say what? You save daylight how?
This is going to mess with dinner
time isn't it?"

Pickles is all mine...
Pickles is all mine...
That's hysterical - an oh, so true!
ReplyDeletePickles is beautiful :)
My sentiments exactly! I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! It would seem the government is completely absurd....but we already knew that. And Pickles...looks just like my Tootsie in her younger days, before the gray eyelashes, belly, and underarms. "It's hell gettin' old" she tells me, and I agree.
ReplyDeleteSo true so true. It's hard on us night workers also.
ReplyDeleteOh yes and it is all about dinner now don't cha' know.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Pickles my friend.
About the time I get used to it, its time to roll it back! That picture of Pickles is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend. xoxo
Sometimes common sense is just genius, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteAlso: PICKLES IS ADORABLE!
I agree, the different time for sun-up and sun-set really messes with the critters :o)
ReplyDeletehahahahaha, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI had an English roommate in college who thought it was a dumb idea and refused to reset his watch. He just recalculated everthing for half a year. He didn't care.

That was q great saying... and Pickles looks nonplussed by the entire enterprise!
ReplyDeleteAnything that messes with dinner time has got to be ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteArizona does not participate in the "Day light savings" time clock.
ReplyDeleteSo when the people who live in Bullhead City, Arizona, cross the Colorado River to go the work at the Laughlin, Nevada casinos, they have to have go by two different clocks!
Daylight Savings drives me NUTS too! And our dogs-- hope you are well, I've missed you.
ReplyDeletexo
Very true...I am much more of a fan of falling back an hour for Daylight Savings. Who doesn't love an extra hour of sleep?
ReplyDeleteseriously. living for six years without daylight savings (while on maui) was AMAZING. no one has ever been able to explain it to me in a way that will ever convince me it's worth keeping around.
ReplyDeleteHow wise was that saying LOL
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures though. I love to look at hands and woudl love to do a series of photographs of hands..in fat this has given me the impedous I am going to take my camera up to guild today and start taking the members hands...bet they will think it is a funny thing to do !!
Love Sybil xx
I read numerous posts (and Facebook comments) dedicated to the topic of the time change. This was the best!
ReplyDeletePickles looks like such a thoughtful dog...pretty too. :)
Ugh...it was soooo hard getting up yesterday morning, but it was my work day:(
ReplyDeleteDogs are notoriously anti-daylight savings! And I'm only a fan of the setting clocks back an hour part. I can feel my internal clock fighting this already. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness pickles is so cute. he looks just like a little sleepy kid you've just woken up to get him to school. "pleeeaase, can't i sleep a little bit longer?"
ReplyDeleteI think we should just throw away all our clocks and just live with Indian time again, whenever the time we get there...
ReplyDeleteIt is so true! Government, always buttin in!
ReplyDeletePICKLES is the CUTEST!
My thoughts exactly. It's still winter, for gosh sake. I am still recovering from last October when I managed an extra hour of sleep and I don't want to give it back!! Give a (((HUG))to Pickles, for me~*
ReplyDeleteLove that quote! Every year, DST makes me wonder where common sense has gone.
ReplyDeletei don't think my beagle is ever going to recover. he is EXHAUSTED.
ReplyDeleteHaha.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
I do not like time changes.
LOL..I'm with Pickles on this one...
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sheri
I don't like the time change. It is difficult to get up in the dark in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI think traditionally it was so there was more daylight for farming in the afternoon...or something like that...either way, it's pointless now. But then, governments are really good at doing pointless stuff quite often, aren't they...
ReplyDeleteI don't dare fight you for Pickles, although the cuteness factor is hard to ignore! I want a dog!! :)
word! Your blog is cool!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Old Indian quote.
ReplyDeleteI for one would prefer to go back to how it once was before the time changes.
Pickles is such a patient and contented looking dog.
One of the best!
Hugs

We're up for the clock change next week, Indigo. And boy, will it mess up schedules for man and beast alike.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! My son recently asked me to explain daylight savings and I couldn't because it just sounded crazy. He will have to research that on his own.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Indian *and* with Pickles!
