Daylight Savings Time - Related to Snow
Hope you didn't forget! I went to bed last night thinking I was getting to bed nice and early, and then it hit me, that I wasn't early, that I was actually an hour later then I thought. At least I did remember though. I got to church on time this morning, and found that I was one of the few. Our service which last Sunday was the largest crowd ever at the 8:30 service, was maybe 60-70 people there today. That's less than half of what was there last week. People kept saying that the daylight time change really keeps people from church early. That kind of baffled me. I'd never really seen it create a problem anywhere, but here. I'll add that to the "Mitchell Problems" along with parking, bad drivers, and one way streets. Daylight savings time is a lot like a city in the south that gets 1 inch of snow: just shut down! Take the day, and try to see if you will survive. I remember hearing about a co-worker who lived here, and then moved to the south for a bit, then came back. He said that in Carolina, they would see a snowstorm, and the day before, you would have people at the store buying supplies like the world might end. 1 inch of snow = apocalypse to them, which is ironic because it would literally be gone in 30 hours. I didn't see people at the store stocking up on supplies, but apparently they did just play it safe and stay in doors.
