“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

We’re going to lose an hour of rain here on the Texas Gulf Coast.
No worries. I’m in Arizona. I happily don’t have to live with the dreaded time changes.
From the Republic of Lakotah website:
When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’
Waiting on Congress to give Florida permission to stay put year round on DST
Hopefully no one uses that excuse to miss Sunday Mass since many parishes offer late morning and afternoon Masses, not to mention vigil Masses on Saturday night.
DST also kicks in for most of Canada overnight.
Some of my regular parishioners missed Mass this morning because of the time change.
They came to church for Benediction this evening, so as to at least make some act of worship on the Lord’s Day. It was not possible for them to get a later Mass in the city.
So I took that as my pastoral reason to offer a second Mass today and offered Mass after the scheduled Benediction.
It may not be saving daylight, but it is saving souls.
I’m just here to be that guy who points out that it’s “Daylight Saving,” not “Daylight Savings.”
You don’t have to be that guy. There’s help for you.
I’m with you, Legisperitus! The distinction matters. :-)
Still, while I, being the editor that I am, understand the grammatical logic behind why “Daylight Saving” is correct, rather than “Daylight Savings”, I don’t understand the logic behind the use of “Daylight Saving”. One can’t change the amount of daylight just by adjusting the clock.
Moreover, I don’t understand the logic behind messing with the clock at all. As a morning lark, I prefer my light in the morning. If I had my druthers, we’d leave the clock alone, and only those individuals and organizations that wanted to do so could adjust their schedules. A business might have a summer schedule such that employees start earlier, leaving more daytime on the evening end, and then everyone at that business would know that the company switches from winter schedule to summer on day x and from summer to winter on day y.
